Here is an interesting question for you thread experts out there. How many concurrent 'creates' does your system support? Creates being a generic term for any given process that your system supports. The system that I support is a home grown quote/order management system and last year we stood up a web service interface for people to be able to generate quotes from their systems and get pricing back. The initial interface was setup to handle 3 concurrent creates...but as soon as it was a success we started getting slammed with several hundred at a time and choking our system. Through rigorous testing and tweaking over the last couple of weeks I have been able to get roughly 60 concurrent going through the system with reasonable performance....so at this point I have my Fast set to 30/100 min/max....confirmed that I'm not maxing anything specific out....but I personally have never run above 20ish threads as a high because most transactions are short and a fast thread count of 20 will handle hundreds of users in 'normal' operation.....so I was just wondering how many requests you guys have your system to handle concurrently....and just for verification...I'm talking about 'all of them hit the button within a second of each other' type of concurrent...not 'I hove 400 people logged on concurrently'
