I am working with Pyramid, and when it comes to deploying, I came across this tutorial.
What is the point of running multiple instances of the same app on the same server?
Is there an optimal amount of instances I should run?
Thanks.
It’s quite common these days for a system to have more than one core, IE, processor. If you want to take full advantage of it, you should run as many instances as there are processors, or one less for the OS. This will allow you to take the maximum advantage of the system.
It is also possible, if your code has considerable IO calls, that the optimal value is even higher than the number of cores, as while one thread is getting data from, say, the HD, another can be running on the processor.
