How can I get around size limitations when uploading a private app to Zendesk?

Question

How can I get around the 2MB size limitation when uploading a private app to Zendesk?

Answer

This limit applies to all accounts. If your app exceeds 2 MB, you can host the app externally to Zendesk and then create a server-side app in Zendesk to bring the app functionality into your Zendesk account.
