`The document exceeds maximum allowed BSON object size after serialization`  
Ran into this issue while attempting to deploy my site to Netlify. I removed some of the larger files and the deploy succeeded. What is the maximum file size that can be uploaded in a deploy? I can’t seem to find this in the documentation. Thanks!

Hey there! Typically, you’ll see this error when [uploading too many files in a subdirectory](https://answers.netlify.com/t/document-exceeds-maximum-bson-object-size/124620/8), or when the size of the deploy overall starts to reach a few hundred thousand files. Regarding individual files, the recommended size for uploading to deploys is [no more than 10MB](https://docs.netlify.com/configure-builds/troubleshooting-tips/#large-files-or-sites).
