Flask Application scenarios to Handle Large JSON Payloads with MemoryError
I'm relatively new to this, so bear with me. I'm working with a `MemoryError` when trying to handle large JSON payloads in my Flask application. Specifically, my endpoint is designed to accept a JSON payload that can exceed 10MB, but it seems to crash when I test it with larger data. The behavior traceback shows that the failure occurs during the parsing of the request data, which suggests that Flask might be trying to load the entire payload into memory before processing it. Hereβs the relevant part of my code: ```python from flask import Flask, request, jsonify app = Flask(__name__) @app.route('/upload', methods=['POST']) def upload_data(): data = request.get_json(force=True) # Process data return jsonify({'status': 'success'}) ``` Iβve tried increasing the `MAX_CONTENT_LENGTH` configuration to 20MB: ```python app.config['MAX_CONTENT_LENGTH'] = 20 * 1024 * 1024 # 20MB ``` But I still encounter the same `MemoryError`. Iβm running Flask 2.1.1 with Python 3.9 on Ubuntu 22.04. I also ensured that I have enough available RAM on the server. In addition to increasing the `MAX_CONTENT_LENGTH`, I attempted streaming the request data using `request.stream`, but I still faced issues. Is there a recommended way to handle large JSON payloads in Flask without running into memory issues? Should I consider using a different approach or library to handle the parsing more efficiently? What would be the recommended way to handle this?
