2019-03-26 06:52:16 UTC - Jin Choi: I am running an Openwhisk system on my own. A client of mine asked if he could make an action for zipping up hundreds of jpeg files which are fetched from another server so that his clients can download zipped files of images. But I see the maximum output size of an action invocation is 1MB and fixed @ <https://console.bluemix.net/docs/openwhisk/openwhisk_reference.html#openwhisk_syslimits_result> Do you think the suggested use case is not good for Openwhisk? https://openwhisk-team.slack.com/archives/C3UDXSFA6/p1553583136333300?thread_ts=1553583136.333300&cid=C3UDXSFA6 ---- 2019-03-26 06:54:11 UTC - chetanm: It would be better to post that zip to some file server or object store like S3 and send back a url for that in response https://openwhisk-team.slack.com/archives/C3UDXSFA6/p1553583251333600?thread_ts=1553583136.333300&cid=C3UDXSFA6 ---- 2019-03-26 06:56:26 UTC - Jin Choi: You mean, make an action that fetches 100 images, zips them up, stores it on some file server and then return the URI for the zip? https://openwhisk-team.slack.com/archives/C3UDXSFA6/p1553583386333800?thread_ts=1553583136.333300&cid=C3UDXSFA6 ---- 2019-03-26 06:56:40 UTC - chetanm: yup https://openwhisk-team.slack.com/archives/C3UDXSFA6/p1553583400334000?thread_ts=1553583136.333300&cid=C3UDXSFA6 ---- 2019-03-26 06:58:18 UTC - Jin Choi: Doesn't it still make as large traffic as the zip file to upload it to some file server? I thought it was impossible because of the maximum output size limit of an action invocation (1MB) https://openwhisk-team.slack.com/archives/C3UDXSFA6/p1553583498334200?thread_ts=1553583136.333300&cid=C3UDXSFA6 ---- 2019-03-26 06:59:26 UTC - chetanm: Actions can connect to any such “external” file server directly and such not bounded by limits placed on activation response +1 : Jin Choi https://openwhisk-team.slack.com/archives/C3UDXSFA6/p1553583566334400?thread_ts=1553583136.333300&cid=C3UDXSFA6 ---- 2019-03-26 06:59:29 UTC - Markus Thömmes: @Jin Choi that output limit only applies to the function results. Traffic wise you can do whatever you want from the OW perspective https://openwhisk-team.slack.com/archives/C3UDXSFA6/p1553583569334600?thread_ts=1553583136.333300&cid=C3UDXSFA6 ---- 2019-03-26 07:00:00 UTC - Jin Choi: Now it sounds clear.
