⏱️Usage and Performance

The following are restrictions on data storage and operations in your Extra Horizon environment. We put these limits in place to maximize the stability of your environment.

In case you want an increase on the limits described below. Please contact the Extra Horizon Team through your dedicated Slack channel or via support@extrahorizon.com.

File Service

Operation
Limit
Description

File uploads

8MB*

File uploads to the file service are limited to files of 8MB*

* The limit can be increased, but you as an application builder need to be aware of the performance impact and user experience in the applications you are building. Theoretically the file service can handle files up to 5 TB. However, uploading large files can take a long time and when internet connections fail it can result in a bad user experience. Therefore when you are expecting your application to process large files, please have a chat with our Solution Architecture Team, we are here to help.
