What is the maximum number of cartridges that can be configured in a Salesforce B2C Commerce instance?

In Salesforce B2C Commerce, a cartridge functions as a package of customizations that contains all the necessary code, configurations, and assets required to deliver a specific feature or functionality. The maximum number of cartridges that can be configured in a Salesforce B2C Commerce instance is indeed 20.

This limitation is established to ensure efficient performance and maintainability of the instance. Having a set maximum number allows for better management of resources and performance, preventing issues that could arise from an overwhelming number of cartridges, such as complex dependency management or increased load times due to too many custom features being processed simultaneously. By setting a limit, Salesforce encourages developers and administrators to optimize their code and utilize best practices when developing and organizing their cartridges.
