How are mounts in .platform.app.yaml sized?

  Mount sizes are defined with the disk key in your .platform.app.yaml configuration file.

  Mounts are entirely optional - it may not be necessary for your application to have write access. If not, you will still need to define the disk key in .platform.app.yaml to the minimum requirements

  disk: 256
  

  disk defines the size of the persistent disk of the application (in MB), and you will receive a validation error if you attempt to set it lower than 256MB.

  Once your mounts are defined with the disk key, all mounts will share the amount of disk you allocate to them.

  For example, in a .platform.app.yaml file that configures its mounts with

  disk: 1024
  
  mounts:
      'private':
          source: local
          source_path: private
      'web/uploads':
          source: local
          source_path: uploads
  

  The mounts at mnt/private and mnt/uploads will be accessible in the /app directory at private and web/uploads, and they will together share a maximum of 1024 MB.

  If you go over that total amount between them, then you will need to expand this pre-allocated disk space in the .platform.app.yaml disk key.

  You can observe the disk space used by each application mount using the Platform.sh CLI:

  $ platform mount:size
