I'm evaluating the possibility of using the Base64 Utilities plugin to convert base64 document encodings (sent by an external system) into Appian documents.
Each xml request sent by the external system can contain the encodings of about 3/5 documents, with the size of 8MB (at most) per document. In step 1 of my project, the expectation is to receive at most 2 xml requests per day (so let's say about 10 documents per day). In next steps, the number of requests per day will increase (expected amount to be evaluated).

According to the plugin pre-requisite, Convert Base64 String to Document is not recommended for use in large volume on production sites. Can you tell me if the Base64 plugin can be used in my project or suggest me alternatives?

Thanks!

Thanks.
I'm also evaluating the possibility of using the SFTP plugin, but in this case instead of a single self-containing xml request I would receive the xml request + n separate files whose names must be specified in the request. Is the SFTP mechanism much more efficient and scale-able than the base64 encodings conversion to worth the effort?
