The maximum size of a SOAP request or response is regulated by a governor limit. Governor limits are runtime limits enforced by the Salesforce platform to ensure that no single Apex transaction monopolizes shared resources.
Governor limits are set by Salesforce and cannot be exceeded by Apex code. If a governor limit is exceeded, the platform throws an exception and the transaction is rolled back. Governor limits are designed to prevent runaway Apex code from causing performance problems or crashing the system.
In the case of SOAP requests and responses, the specific governor limit that applies is the Heap Size limit. This limit governs the amount of memory that can be allocated by Apex code during a single transaction. Since SOAP messages are typically large, the Heap Size limit can be a limiting factor in the size of SOAP requests and responses.
To optimize the use of governor limits, developers should design their Apex code to use efficient algorithms and data structures, and to minimize the amount of memory used during a transaction. They can also use tools like the Limits class and the Developer Console to monitor their code's use of governor limits and identify areas for improvement.
