name: Nuxeo API Rate Limits
description: Nuxeo does not publish explicit, fixed API rate limit policies in its public documentation. The platform is designed for horizontal scalability and high-throughput enterprise workloads. Rate limiting behavior depends on deployment configuration, server resources, and the specific subscription agreement with Hyland.

rate_limits:
  - scope: General REST API
    limit: Not publicly specified
    notes: >
      No fixed rate limit is documented for the Nuxeo REST API. Limits are
      governed by server configuration, cluster size, and deployment environment.
      Operators can configure thread pools, connection pools, and work queues to
      tune throughput.

  - scope: Batch Upload API
    limit: Not publicly specified
    notes: >
      The Batch Upload endpoint (/nuxeo/api/v1/upload/) supports chunked uploads
      and concurrent uploads. Limits depend on server disk, memory, and async
      work queue configuration.

  - scope: Automation / Command Endpoint
    limit: Not publicly specified
    notes: >
      The automation endpoint exposes 100+ server-side operations. Heavy
      automation chains may be subject to server-side timeout policies
      configurable by the platform administrator.

scalability_notes:
  - Nuxeo supports horizontal scaling via clustering; multiple Nuxeo nodes can be
    deployed behind a load balancer to increase aggregate throughput.
  - Performance tuning guidance is available at https://doc.nuxeo.com/nxdoc/managing-performance/
  - Health check endpoints are available at /nuxeo/runningstatus for monitoring.
  - Metrics and monitoring integration is supported via https://doc.nuxeo.com/nxdoc/metrics/
