Longtime lurker and first-time poster here: Are Plumber APIs suitable for use in R Studio Cloud? I'm using one to receive json input from a webpage and run a Monte Carlo model, which works perfectly in R Studio. However in the Cloud version I get the following error after a few minutes:
I'm wondering if it's something I've done, or if Plumber is not the right way to approach this? The API isn't hosted, it's being run in the browser.
Hello,
I think the error message is probably unrelated to accessing the plumber API. That message tends to indicate the the R process was killed because it has exceeded the 1GB memory limit in a cloud project running on the free tier. So either the data that's coming from the API is larger then the available memory - or the Monte Carlo model could be exceeding the memory limit while processing the data.

That makes a lot of sense - it's a hefty simulation and I'm on the basic free tier. I'll look at increasing the resources available, thanks for your response.
