Depending on *how you run it*, here are a few limits that are relevant:
### WAL for 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.
Here's how ntfy.sh has been tuned in the `server.yml` file:
``` yaml
cache-startup-queries: |
pragma journal_mode = WAL;
pragma synchronous = normal;
pragma temp_store = memory;
```
### For systemd services
If you're running ntfy in a systemd service (e.g. for .deb/.rpm packages), the main limiting factor is the
`LimitNOFILE` setting in the systemd unit. The default open files limit for `ntfy.service` is 10,000. You can override it

## ntfy server v1.27.0 (UNRELEASED)
!!! info
The message cache database (typically `cache.db`) now enables the write-ahead log (WAL) in SQLite.
WAL mode will create two additional files (`cache.db-wal` and `cache.db-shm`). This is perfectly normal.
Do not delete or modify these files, as that can lead to database corruption.
**Features:**
* Greatly improve SQLite performance for the message cache by enabling WAL mode (no ticket)
* Add `cache-startup-queries` option to allow custom SQLite performance tuning (no ticket)
* ntfy CLI can now [wait for a command or PID](https://ntfy.sh/docs/subscribe/cli/#wait-for-pidcommand) before publishing ([#263](https://github.com/binwiederhier/ntfy/issues/263), thanks to the [original ntfy](https://github.com/dschep/ntfy) for the idea)
* Trace: Log entire HTTP request to simplify debugging (no ticket)
* Allow setting user password via `NTFY_PASSWORD` env variable ([#327](https://github.com/binwiederhier/ntfy/pull/327), thanks to [@Kenix3](https://github.com/Kenix3))
