Reactors

Applicable to invoking Reactors or invoking Pre-Configured Proxies with a Request or Response Transform.

LimitNote
Code lengthThe maximum code length accepted by a Reactor is 50K chars.
Payload SizeThe maximum payload size to invoke a Reactor is 5 MB. Please reach out if your use case requires more than that.
ConcurrencyThe default hot concurrency is set to 1 by default, this will fan out and cold start additional Reactors if multiple requests happen concurrently. If you need additional hot concurrency, please reach out.
Synchronous TimeoutSynchronous Reactor Invoke calls will timeout after 30s.
