I have a problem with document storage complex data structure, which may vary. Document need to store and retrieve whole. Need to provide a document search fields. I began to store documents in MongoBb, but the size of the document there is limited to 16 MB, which is not enough for me. What is the maximum size of a single document allows CouchDb?

The CouchDB maximum document size is set via the max_document_size parameter in the .ini file for your instance. The defaults
max_document_size = 4294967296 ; 4 GB
max_attachment_chunk_size = 4294967296 ; 4GB
mean that for both documents and attachments the default maximum size is 4 GB. I am uncertain if you can raise it above that value.

1CouchDB 4.0 (currently unreleased) will have a hard limit of 8MB: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/60341333 – DharmaTurtle Oct 09 '21 at 14:45

@DharmaTurtle Any idea why they impose this limit? Will there be any way to change it? – Arek Mar 09 '23 at 13:27
