Hello,

Now as I’m hitting the limit of 100 serverless indexes per project I need to find a solution to onboard 10000 clients (each requiring up to 3 vector stores).

What is the best approach to this? considering limitations of 100 indexes per project?

Hi @team2. Welcome to the Pinecone forum!

You should consider using namespaces. [Namespaces](https://docs.pinecone.io/guides/get-started/key-features#namespaces) let you partition records within an index. In your case, you could use a dedicated namespace for each client. You can have up to 10,000 namespaces per serverless index, so you could even handle your 10,000 clients with a single serverless index!

See our tutorial on [implementing multitenancy with namespaces](https://docs.pinecone.io/guides/get-started/implement-multitenancy) for more details, and please let me know if you have any questions.

Best,  
Jesse
