Limits and quotas

while’s limits, per project and per organization. Your agent knows them, and tells you when your app gets close.

Your apps’ resources

By default, a web service has 200 mCPU and 192 MiB of memory, and a worker 100 mCPU and 128 MiB; resources changes them.

  • A container asks for 8 GiB of memory at most, and up to 16 GiB if the organization’s memory quota allows it.
  • An organization asks for at most 4 vCPU and 8 GiB of memory by default, all its projects and environments together; the get_usage tool (quotas view) gives its own.
  • Each service counts in it for its maximum number of instances: scale.max (10 without a setting), without exceeding the “instances” limit (3 by default).
  • A web service without scale.max therefore counts 3 times its resources, since it scales up to that with traffic.
  • Tasks, caches and databases count too, a database for 100 mCPU and 256 MiB per instance.

Disk

A worker and a task have a 1 GiB /tmp, which takes nothing from their memory, and resources.disk raises it up to 8 GiB. A web service’s /tmp, on the other hand, takes from its memory: its large files go in a worker, a database or a bucket. A /tmp is emptied at each restart, so what must last goes in a database or a bucket.

Scheduled jobs

A run lasts from 10 s to 6 h (timeout_seconds, 10 min by default), and is retried at most 5 times after a failure (retries).

Internal access

A service restricted to your organization opens its access to:
