Error Cause​

Response size exceeds maximum response 1MB limit.

Solution​

1. Use paginated queries​

For large amounts of data, use pagination to retrieve data in batches:

// Database query pagination example
const pageSize = 100;
const page = 1;

const result = await db.collection('users')
  .skip((page - 1) * pageSize)
  .limit(pageSize)
  .get();

2. Simplify return fields​

Only return necessary fields, avoid returning entire document:

// Only select needed fields
const result = await db.collection('users')
  .field({
    name: true,
    email: true,
    avatar: true
    // Don't return large fields like description, content etc
  })
  .get();

3. Use cloud storage for large data transfer​

For very large data (such as export functionality), it's recommended to first write data to cloud storage, then return download link:

import cloudbase from '@cloudbase/node-sdk'

const app = cloudbase.init({
  env: "your-env-id", // Replace with your environment id
  region: "ap-shanghai", // Defaults to Shanghai region if not provided
});

exports.main = async (event, context) => {
  // Generate large amount of data
  const largeData = await generateLargeData();
  
  // Upload to cloud storage
  const fileName = `export_${Date.now()}.json`;
  await app.uploadFile({
    cloudPath: `exports/${fileName}`,
    fileContent: JSON.stringify(largeData)
  });
  
  // Get temporary download link
  const result = await cloud.getTempFileURL({
    fileList: [`exports/${fileName}`]
  });
  
  // Return download link
  return {
    downloadUrl: result.fileList[0].tempFileURL
  };
};
