technical limits for Activepieces execution
Overview
This Limits applies for the Activepieces Cloud, and can be configured via environment variables for self-hosted instances.
Flow Limits
- Execution Time: Each flow has a maximum execution time of 600 seconds (10 minutes). Flows exceeding this limit will be marked as a timeout.
- Memory Usage: During execution, a flow should not use more than 128 MB of RAM.
Friendly Tip #1: Flow run in a paused state, such as Wait for Approval or Delay, do not count toward the 600 seconds.
Friendly Tip #2: The execution time limit can be worked around by splitting the flows into multiple ones, such as by having one flow call another flow using a webhook, or by having each flow process a small batch of items.
File Storage Limits
The files from actions or triggers are stored in the database / S3 to support retries from certain steps.
- Maximum File Size: 10 MB
Data Storage Limits
Some pieces utilize the built-in Activepieces key store, such as the Store Piece and Queue Piece.
The storage limits are as follows:
- Maximum Key Length: 128 characters
- Maximum Value Size: 512 KB
