Question

What are Governor limits in Salesforce?

Answer 1

• Governor limits control how much data a shared database can store. They help to make sure that no one monopolizes the shared resources like storage, CPU, and memory. Whenever the Apex code exceeds the limit, it issues a runtime exception that cannot be handled.
• The following list gives some of the governor limits in Salesforce:
  • Push notification limits
  • Per-Transaction Apex limits
  • Size-Specific Apex limits
  • Miscellaneous Apex limits
  • Static Apex limits
  • Email limits
• Examples of governor limits in Salesforce:
  • The total number of sendEmail methods permitted is 10.
  • The total number of records retrieved by a SOQL query is 50,000.
  • Maximum CPU time on the Salesforce servers is 10,000ms on synchronous Apex.
  • The total number of callouts(web services calls or HTTP requests) in a transaction is 100.
