How to change max append size?

EventStoreDB V20.X

Hello Community!

I have error: Maximum Append Size of 1048576 Exceeded when I call AppendToStreamAsync (GRPC client, version 20.6.0).
How to change that limit?

I am not sure if it can be changed but I would definitely advise not using events as the large object transfer or storage medium. It’s always possible to use some external storage for that purpose and just store the link to the external object https://docs.particular.net/nservicebus/messaging/databus/?version=core_5

Yes, max append size can be changed. The command line option is: --maxAppendSize=xxxxxxx
But of course, such big events are not recommended.
