PAXECT enforces a clear policy for maximum data and text size per run. This ensures stable, predictable performance and prevents misuse, in line with industry standards such as Kafka, MQTT, and gRPC.
- Default limit: Maximum 512 MB per run or operation.
- Configurable: Set a custom limit via environment variable:
export PAXECT_MAX_INPUT_MB=8192 # For up to 8 GB
- Error message when exceeded:
❌ Input size exceeds PAXECT policy limit (default 512 MB). Use PAXECT_MAX_INPUT_MB to adjust.
- This limit applies per operation, plugin, or bridge.
- For larger datasets, use chunking, streaming, or file transfer.
- Some plugins (e.g., Polyglot, AES) may have their own limits; see their respective documentation.
PAXECT intentionally implements a data size limit, just like other professional data frameworks. This is not a restriction, but a guarantee of reliability, security, and predictable performance.
“PAXECT guarantees stable performance up to 512 MB per run. For enterprise workloads, the limit is easily adjustable.”
