Limits

Every limit that applies to your apps, builds, and account, in one place.

Plan limits come from your organization's plan. They are plan settings, not fixed rules, and they can change. Run deplane whoami --json to see the limits that apply to you right now. To see what you used against them, open Usage in the dashboard or run deplane usage; see Dashboard. To raise a limit, email support@deplane.cloud.

Requests to your app

Limit	Value
Request body	100 MB per HTTP request to an app.
Time to the first response byte	125 seconds. If your app sends nothing for 125 seconds after a request arrives, the request fails with a timeout. Send long work to a background job, or stream the response.
WebSockets	Supported, with no extra configuration. Connections stay open as long as data flows. Long-idle connections may be closed, so reconnect when that happens.
HTTPS	Every app gets `https://NAME.deplane.dev` with a certificate, set up for you.
Large media	Deplane is not a host for large video or file downloads. Use a storage service for those.

Instance sizes

Size	CPU	Memory
small (default)	0.5 vCPU	512 MB
medium	1 vCPU	1 GB
large	2 vCPU	2 GB

Every instance of an app has the same size. Change it with deplane scale --size medium.

An autoscaled app counts at its maximum instances, whether or not it runs that many, and a sleeping app counts too.

Beta plan

Limit	Beta plan	Error when you reach it
Memory, all instances of all apps together	1536 MB	limit_memory
Apps	3	limit_apps
Instances, all apps together	3	limit_instances
Sizes	small, medium, large	limit_size
Build time	300 build minutes per month, reset on the 1st (UTC)	limit_build_minutes
Builds at the same time	1; more builds wait in the queue	none, they wait
Log retention	7 days	none
Database backups	Kept 7 days (point-in-time restore to any second in them)	none
Live log streams at the same time	3	limit_log_streams
App disk space, all disks together	10 GB (two 5 GB disks)	limit_disk
Redis	1 (256 MB memory each, counted in your memory)	limit_redis

For example, one large instance (2048 MB) does not fit in 1536 MB, but one medium and one small instance (1536 MB) do. Three small instances use 1536 MB too.

Errors for plan limits have codes that start with limit_, and the CLI exits with code 6 for them.

Besides your plan's limits, Deplane refuses a new app, a preview, a scale-up, a new or bigger worker or cron job, a new or restored database, a new Redis, or a template deploy while its servers are nearly full (above 85% of their memory reserved), with capacity_full. Running apps keep running; try again later.

Redis

Limit	Value
Size	256 MB memory (200 MB of data), 1 GB storage
Redis per app	1. See redis_attached_elsewhere.
Back up now	Once an hour per Redis. See backup_too_soon.
Backups	Nightly; kept 3 days (or your plan's backup window, if shorter), plus the newest that worked; off-site, 7 days.

See Redis.

Uploads and builds

Limit	Value
Upload size	100 MB compressed.
Project size	2 GiB uncompressed.
Files	200,000 files and folders.
Dockerfile	1 MB. A `# syntax=` line is not allowed.
Uploads at the same time	2 per organization.
Build time	15 minutes per build.
Build memory	3 GB.
Build disk	10 GB.
Image layer	2 GB compressed per layer.
Queue time	A build that waits in the queue for more than 1 hour expires. Run `deplane deploy` again.
Build logs	Kept 30 days.

The CLI never uploads the .git folder or .env files. It honors .gitignore and .dockerignore. Keep node_modules, build output, and large data files out of the upload with them.

Releases and rollout

Limit	Value
Time for a release to become healthy	5 minutes. After that the release fails with `Timeout` and the previous release keeps serving.
Startup	An instance has up to 2 minutes to start answering its health check.
Releases shown by `deplane releases`	The newest 50.

Databases

Limit	Value
Databases per team	5. See too_many_databases.
Disk per database	10 GB.
Size	`small`, `medium`, or `large`; a database counts against your plan as one instance of its size.
Databases per app	1, as `DATABASE_URL`.
Backup window	Your plan's: 7 days on the Beta plan. Restore to any second in it, up to about a minute ago.
Deleted databases	Restorable for the backup window, then deleted for good with their backups.
Preview databases	3 per team at a time, smallest size, free (they do not count toward the 5 or your plan). Never backed up.

See Databases.

App disks

Limit	Value
Disks per app	1, of 5 GB. See disk_exists.
Disk space per team	Your plan's: 10 GB on the Beta plan. See limit_disk.
Instances of an app with a disk	1, without autoscaling. See disk_needs_one_instance.
Back up now	Once an hour per disk. See backup_too_soon.
Disk backups	Nightly. Disk backups are kept 3 days (or your plan's backup window, if shorter), plus the newest that worked; off-site, 7 days.

See Disks.

Apps, previews, domains, and processes

Limit	Value
Pull request previews	3 per app at a time. They count toward your plan's apps and instances.
Custom domains	10 per app.
Workers and cron jobs	10 per app; a worker runs 0 to 20 instances.
Instances of one app	Up to your plan's instance limit. The autoscale maximum is 1 to 1000, also bound by your plan. The AI tools' `scale` tool takes at most 20 for `instances`.
Sleep when idle	After 5, 15, or 60 minutes without requests, or never.
Automatic rollback	Watches a release for its first 10 minutes live. Needs at least 50 requests and 10 errors from the app (502, 503 and 504 do not count), reaching visitors on at least 3 networks.
Alert channels	10 per team.

Logs

Limit	Value
`deplane logs`	The last 100 lines of each running instance by default.
`deplane logs --tail N`	Up to 1000 lines per instance.
Live stream (`deplane logs -f`)	Up to 30 minutes per stream; run it again to continue.
Live streams at the same time	Set by your plan: 3 on the Beta plan. A deploy that follows its build log uses one too.

Rate limits

What	Limit
Login, sign-in links, and second-factor attempts	5 per minute per IP address and per email
Access requests and abuse reports	3 per hour per IP address
API requests	120 per minute per token
Deploys	10 per hour per app
Live log streams	3 per organization at the same time

When you hit a rate limit, the API answers HTTP 429 with rate_limited and a Retry-After header. Wait and try again.

API

Limit	Value
Request body	64 KB, except source uploads (100 MB).
CLI login token	Lasts 30 days.
CI token	90 days by default, at most 365 days.
Login code (`deplane login`)	Expires after 10 minutes.
Fresh passkey confirmation	Valid for 5 minutes.

App names

3 to 40 characters.
Lowercase letters, digits, and single hyphens.
Start with a letter, and do not end with a hyphen.
Names are unique across Deplane. A destroyed app's name becomes free again.
Some names are reserved for Deplane, such as api, www, admin, login, docs, status, and support.
Names that contain a well-known brand are refused, to protect people from phishing. paypal-login and my-google-app are refused. Common letter swaps such as paypa1 count too. If you own the brand, email support@deplane.cloud.

Secrets

Limit	Value
Name	Capital letters, digits, and underscores; not starting with a digit; at most 128 characters.
Reserved names	`PORT` and names that start with `DEPLANE_`.
One value	32 KB.
All values of one app, per kind (runtime or build)	256 KB.

Network from your app

Your app can reach the internet. Some destinations are blocked for everyone:

Outbound email on port 25 is blocked. Use an email provider's API, or its submission port 587 or 465, which are rate limited.
Private networks, cloud metadata addresses, and Deplane's own servers are blocked.
Known cryptocurrency mining pools are blocked.

Regions

Apps run in one region today: fra (Germany).
