Is there a limit for local storage size in Bluemix Node JS runtime?

I'm bullding a Node JS app that will :

1-Dowload a large set of images stored at cloudant as doc attachments

2-Process this set of images

3-Build a zip file with the processed images

4-Send the zip files to an external service

5-Delete all the temp local files

My question:

The set of files can have up to 4GB (~4K files of 1MB). Is it ok to load this amount of files in a temp dir with Node runtime? Is there a size limit ?

The default disk size for applications running on Bluemix is 1G and you can increase it a max of 2G using the -k option when pushing the application, for example:

$ cf push <my-app> -k 2G

In your case I suggest you to use the Object Storage service as a temporary storage to process your images and create the zip file.

With the free Object Storage service you have up to 5 GB of storage space you can use.

Another option would be to deploy your Node.js application using IBM Containers, which runs docker containers in Bluemix infrastructure.
