There are a couple of payload size limits that are relevant for Prefect Cloud:

  1. Apollo (which handles all our requests) has a limit of 5MB per request.

  2. Individual routes may also have size limits. The purpose of these limits is usually to control the size of data we write to the backend database. Examples:

    • set_task_run_states - 1 MB (you shouldn’t store arbitrary data in states, that’s what results are for)
    • set_key_value - 10 kb (since the KV Store is meant for small pieces of metadata/references)
