Maximum number of concurrent requests handled by backend instances?

[Attila-Mihaly Balazs]

Hell all,

This is somewhat related to [1]: is there any documentation about the number of concurrent request a backend instance can handle (similar to "max_concurrent_requests" available with the automatic scaler + frontend instances)? Will it even handle multiple request if "threadsafe: true" is specified in app.yaml?

Thank you,
Attila

Backend instances should indeed accept concurrent requests, and the same 'default' concurrent requests that Automatically scaled instances have should also be seen by Backend instances. The only difference being, Automatic scaling allows for a user to change the 'default' amount up to a pre-defined max limit.
