Large message support ( 20 MB) for Fabric Event streams — Microsoft Fabric Roadmap

Description

Large Message Support in Fabric Eventstreams

Overview

Large Message Support enables Fabric Eventstreams to ingest, process, and deliver event payloads up to 20 MB per message. This removes the need for customers to split, chunk, or pre-process large events before streaming them through Eventstreams.

Problem

Today, Eventstreams enforces a default message size limit of 1 MB. Customers with larger payloads -- such as batched IoT telemetry, enriched event schemas, media metadata, or complex domain events -- must implement workarounds to stay within this constraint. These workarounds add pipeline complexity, increase failure surface, and break downstream schema consistency.

What's changing

With this feature, customers can opt in to a configurable message size ceiling (up to 20 MB) on their Eventstreams. Key aspects:

Opt-in by design -- existing Eventstreams are unaffected unless the customer explicitly enables a higher limit.
Configurable ceiling -- customers choose the maximum message size aligned to their workload, rather than a one-size-fits-all default.
No pipeline redesign required -- sources, transformations, and destinations continue to work as expected. Larger messages flow through the same Eventstream canvas.
