Consider the following product configuration limits as you build, manage, and review your API program implementation. We've designed the Apigee product for stability and performance when configured within these limits. Customers are responsible for tracking and ensuring they stay within the configuration limits. Customers exceeding the limits may experience one or more of these types of symptoms: high API latencies, low API throughput, and failing API calls. Customers filing support cases related to issues caused by limit exceptions may be asked to make necessary modifications to their configuration.
Limits may or may not be enforced automatically (see the Currently enforced? column below). As and when we automate limit enforcement for a limit currently not enforced, we will use commercially reasonable efforts to notify affected customers so they can take corrective actions in advance of such enforcement.
One set of configuration limits apply to Apigee and another set applies to Apigee hybrid. These limits are unrelated to your Apigee Pricing.

Private Service Connect (PSC) |
|||
PSC Network Endpoint Groups (NEGs) for northbound connections | As of October 10, 2024, Apigee does not limit the number of Cloud projects that can connect to an Apigee instance through PSC; however, Google Cloud private service connect quota limits apply. Previously, the limit was 50 projects. For each project, you can now create up to 100 PSC NEGs. The previous limit was 20. For any Apigee instances created before October 10, 2024, you must update the consumer accept list for an Apigee instance if you want to take advantage of these new limits. If you need to have more than 1000 PSC NEG connections in total across all of the Cloud projects connected to an Apigee instance, contact Google Cloud Support. |

Request/response size (for both non-streamed and streamed requests) A common API pattern is to fetch large amounts of data, such as images, documents, or plain text/JSON. For data sizes greater than 10 MB, Apigee recommends a signed URLs pattern. Other Google products like Cloud Storage provide reference implementations using this pattern. When streaming is enabled, payloads greater than 10 MB are allowed; however, there could be performance implications. |
