Media set compute usage

Media sets bring a number of advanced, out-of-the-box transformations to the platform. In addition to being triggered via transforms and pipelines, media transformations are also triggered by interacting with media items in the platform, for example, by previewing a media item. Additionally, there is a cost to download or stream the full contents of a media item.

Usage is tracked in units of Foundry compute-seconds. The table below describes each transformation available, with usage rate in terms of compute-seconds per gigabyte processed.

If you have an enterprise contract with Palantir, contact your Palantir representative before proceeding with usage calculations.

Media set limits

  • Transactional media sets have a limit of 10,000 items per transaction.
  • Transactionless media sets do not have an item limit.
  • Paths of items in media sets cannot exceed 256 characters. Attempting to add an item with a path longer than 256 characters to a media set will result in a MediaSet:MediaItemPathInvalid error.
