+#### `block_ram_buffer_max` (since v0.9.4) {#block_ram_buffer_max}
+
+A limit on the total size of data blocks kept in RAM by S3 API nodes awaiting
+to be sent to storage nodes asynchronously.
+
+Explanation: since Garage wants to tolerate node failures, it uses quorum
+writes to send data blocks to storage nodes: try to write the block to three
+nodes, and return ok as soon as two writes complete. So even if all three nodes
+are online, the third write always completes asynchronously.  In general, there
+are not many writes to a cluster, and the third asynchronous write can
+terminate early enough so as to not cause unbounded RAM growth.  However, if
+the S3 API node is continuously receiving large quantities of data and the
+third node is never able to catch up, many data blocks will be kept buffered in
+RAM as they are awaiting transfer to the third node.
+
+The `block_ram_buffer_max` sets a limit to the size of buffers that can be kept
+in RAM in this process.  When the limit is reached, backpressure is applied
+back to the S3 client.
+
+Note that this only counts buffers that have arrived to a certain stage of
+processing (received from the client + encrypted and/or compressed as
+necessary) and are ready to send to the storage nodes. Many other buffers will
+not be counted and this is not a hard limit on RAM consumption.  In particular,
+if many clients send requests simultaneously with large objects, the RAM
+consumption will always grow linearly with the number of concurrent requests,
+as each request will use a few buffers of size `block_size` for receiving and
+intermediate processing before even trying to send the data to the storage
+node.
+
+The default value is 256MiB.
