> And how do you size the arena?

All HTTP servers have a configurable maximum request size. Ex: client_max_body_size in Nginx.

Not to take away from your point, but client_max_body_size "Sets the maximum allowed size of the client request body." That is different from how much the server/service is allowed to allocate internally to service the request.

Yes, my bad, replied in a hurry. Technically, the arena size will be function involving both the request body size, the response body size, along with the sizes of any intermediate results of processing.
