## 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.\
\
The result of **5000** requests with concurrency of **25**

#### Benchmarking
Here is how to reproduce the benchmark:
1. Run Activepieces with PostgreSQL and Redis with the following environment variables:
```env
AP_EXECUTION_MODE=SANDBOX_CODE_ONLY
AP_FLOW_WORKER_CONCURRENCY=25
```
2. Create a flow with a Catch Webhook trigger and a webhook Return Response action.
3. Get the webhook URL from the webhook trigger and append `/sync` to it.
4. Install a benchmark tool like [ab](https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/programs/ab.html):
```bash
sudo apt-get install apache2-utils
```
5. Run the benchmark:
```bash
ab -c 25 -n 5000 http://localhost:4200/api/v1/webhooks/GMtpNwDsy4mbJe3369yzy/sync
```
6. 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
<Tip>
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](/install/architecture/workers#sandboxing).
