Is there a limit on the number of indices in a node?

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch

Hello,

Is there a limit to the number of indices one can have in a ES node? I haven't found information specifying a concrete limit per-se, so I'm assuming there isn't a limit and we should just scale up in the number of nodes within the cluster, but I'd like confirmation!

Thanks

There isn't one, it's more shards that take up resources.
To figure that out you'd need to test on your data.
