How can I increase the body limit? I need to send base64 image to a function.

Summary

Issue: The user is facing an issue where their file exceeds the 1MB limit for functions and they need to find a solution to pass a base64 image to a function without storing it anywhere. Solution: Instead of sending the image directly to the function, it is recommended to use Appwrite storage. By using Appwrite storage, you can avoid the file size limit and securely pass the base64 image to the 3rd party API.

The best thing to do is use Appwrite storage instead of sending an image directly to a function

Yeah, but I don't want to store anywhere. I need to pass it to another 3rd party API

Download the file from storage in the function

it's what i'm doing now, but it's just a workaround. it's less than ideal to upload, run function and then delete

How about executing the function automatically on upload?

I still need to store the file unnecessarily then, don't I?

it is necessary because functions doesn't support large file inputs
