Performance

On average, Activepieces (self-hosted) can handle 95 flow executions per second on a single instance (including PostgreSQL and Redis) with under 300ms latency.
It can scale up much more with increasing instance resources and/or adding more instances.

Benchmarking

Here is how to reproduce the benchmark:
  1. Run Activepieces with PostgreSQL and Redis with the following environment variables:
AP_EXECUTION_MODE=SANDBOX_CODE_ONLY
AP_FLOW_WORKER_CONCURRENCY=25
  1. Create a flow with a Catch Webhook trigger and a webhook Return Response action. Simple Webhook Flow
  2. Get the webhook URL from the webhook trigger and append /sync to it.
  3. Install a benchmark tool like ab: 
sudo apt-get install apache2-utils
  1. Run the benchmark:
ab -c 25 -n 5000 http://localhost:4200/api/v1/webhooks/GMtpNwDsy4mbJe3369yzy/sync
  1. Check the results:
Instance specs used to get the above results:
  • 16GB RAM
  • AMD Ryzen 7 8845HS (8 cores, 16 threads)
  • Ubuntu 24.04 LTS
These benchmarks are based on running Activepieces in SANDBOX_CODE_ONLY mode. This does not represent the performance of Activepieces Cloud, which uses a different sandboxing mechanism to support multi-tenancy. For more information, see Sandboxing.
