Question:

Is there a file size limit for a changelog file?

Answer:

Liquibase does not limit file size. However, this does not guarantee that there will not be file size issues with dependencies that Liquibase uses.

The size of YAML files is known to be limited due to the snakeyaml dependency. Liquibase version 4.21.0 updated snakeyaml to version 2.0, which increased the file size. Liquibase versions lower than 4.21.0 used a snakeyaml version that limited the file size to 3 MB (3145728 code points).
