What is the total max size that an engine can have, is there a limit to it and if yes, is it configurable?

Hi Subhasis -

There are a number of different limits for App Search engines, many of them are configurable. Perhaps the best guide is the documentation at:

[https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/app-search/current/limits.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/app-search/current/limits.html)

Let us know if this helps, or if there is anything specific in the limits that are affecting you. Thanks!

Hi Subhasis,

Assuming you mean scales like documents and/or query volume, there is no concrete limit.

Best,
