I have an application that converts images into a video file. For a 1 minute video it needs to send 1800 images (canvas.toDataURL()). Their size is ~200Mb in total. I know that many services limit the size of the fetch request/response (Vercel does so to 5Mb). Does DO has a similar limit? Can it be lifted if needed? Thanks in advance!

Hi there,
In case that you are going to be running this on a Droplet, you would have root access to the server, meaning that you will be able to make any configuration changes needed so it would not be a problem.
