How can we measure the experience event size ?

[Indra]

 The maximum size of an event is 10 KB~System enforced guardrail 

what of there is a use case where we need to capture more than 10KB ?  Is there any work around ?

Hi @Indra,

I can share some tips, that may be helpful:

*If you need to capture more than 10 KB:

-Segment the information: Brake down the data into smaller events. (Example: Split a large object into several smaller parts and send each part as a separate event.

-Use external references: Store large data internally (cloud storage or server) and include only a reference or identifier in the event that points to the location of data.

-Sever -Side Processing: Pre-process data on the server side to reduce size or aggregate information before sending it to Real-Time CDP.

If this does not work, contact Adobe Technical Support for personalized assistance and further recommendations.

Hope this helps, and let us know the final solution!

I can see you have a custom field with special instructions in the above payload.  What is the goal in terms of segmentation for customfields.specialInstructions ?
