Hi. I’m Working on a BPMN process with Flowable Open Source currently, but now I’m having a problem the Flowable Rest API in Docker. I’m trying to prove the concurrency and availability of this software, making like 20 BPMN instances per minute for about 5 minutes in total. I’m having problems and the logs just tell me about an “Execution Error”, Even if I try it with async. Is this related with the limits of Open Source Version? I tried to configure the properties of the Hikari Pool, Executor Queue Size, Http max total connections, etc.

Hey Kevin,  
welcome to the forum! Can you please send the full logs.  
Regarding “limits”: There are no artificial limits set in open source. It’s the foundation used in Flowable Enterprise. Creating 20 BPMN instances per minute is not a problem at all. Obviously that always depends on your actual definition. I assume you are using a fairly simple process in your testing stage right?

greetings

Christopher
