I'm not sure this is a correct usage of mapped pages. Mapped pages are AsciiDoc pages that are mapped to the new docs system (that builds Markdown files). When I navigate to this link it 404s. I suspect that's because this a new page the equivalent of which never existed in the old AsciiDoc system.

Thanks for opening this PR, seems like an important limitation we want to document.

I think it might need a bit more work to scope out its purpose correctly.

Hi @zhubotang-wq, I've spoken to our team lead about this and from an information architecture point of view, this dedicated page doesn't make sense. Instead, this information would be best presented in the Serverless overview page and this page as well.

If you don't mind, I'll open another PR to try and incorporate this index limit info into our existing docs as it belongs closer to the context where users are already learning about Serverless behavior. I'll link it to this PR for visibility.
