Question #: 59
Topic #: 1
You're designing a file upload process that integrates with an external document management system.
Part of this process is to develop a start form with a file upload component, so that the user can upload multiple files.
The business has requested that the maximum file size that can be uploaded through this process is 1GB.
Additionally, you're aware that the integration's API can accept files with a maximum file size of 3GB, but recommends no larger than 1GB.
Can the process be more performant without straining the application or integration?

Suggested Answer: A Vote an answer
While Appian and the integration technically support 1 GB file uploads, handling such large files during interactive sessions can negatively impact application performance, user experience, and resource utilization.
A better approach is to request that the business allow these files to be uploaded asynchronously (e.g., overnight batch process), by temporarily storing them (e.g., in a staging table or folder) and processing them when system load is lower. This makes the process more performant and reliable without straining Appian or the external system.
