Depending on *how you run it*, here are a few limits that are relevant:
### WAL for message cache
### Message cache
By default, the [message cache](#message-cache) (defined by `cache-file`) uses the SQLite default settings, which means it
syncs to disk on every write. For personal servers, this is perfectly adequate. For larger installations, such as ntfy.sh,
the [write-ahead log (WAL)](https://sqlite.org/wal.html) should be enabled, and the sync mode should be adjusted.
See [this article](https://phiresky.github.io/blog/2020/sqlite-performance-tuning/) for details.
In addition to that, for very high load servers (such as ntfy.sh), it may be beneficial to write messages to the cache
in batches, and asynchronously. This can be enabled with the `cache-batch-size` and `cache-batch-timeout`. If you start
seeing `database locked` messages in the logs, you should probably enable that.
Here's how ntfy.sh has been tuned in the `server.yml` file:
``` yaml
cache-batch-size: 25
cache-batch-timeout: "1s"
cache-startup-queries: |
pragma journal_mode = WAL;
pragma synchronous = normal;
pragma temp_store = memory;
pragma busy_timeout = 15000;
vacuum;
```
### For systemd services
