Multiple Function Workers

[shell smelt]

Hey so I’m trying to figure out how to have more than one worker per function, so I can run say 5 or 6 simultaneously, rather than one at a time. The reason I need to do this is I’m using AuthNet’s SDK and their API calls sometimes can take a second (literally) and my thought is if 200 users sign in that’s 50-200 seconds, depending on speed, is there anyway to speed it up or allocate more workers or can we add that as an env variable?

I’d run their node SDK but it wasn’t working, so I’ve resorted to Python

I think there was a workers per core env var, maybe that's related? 🤔

Yeah I don’t think that’s what it is, I asked Steven about that

you could try duplicating the appwrite-worker-functions service

So you guys have never tried it?

some community members have

and I presume that's how they did it?

I'm trying to achieve the same thing, and have successfully duplicated the appwrite-worker-functions container 1 time so I have 2 of them. However when I start 5 of these, some function executions complete successfully but some fail because of this error (which is logged by the openruntime-executor container:

[Error] Type: Exception
[Error] Message: Internal curl errors has occurred within the executor! Error Number: 110. Error Msg: Operation timed out
[Error] File: /usr/local/app/http.php
[Error] Line: 1072

I have set _APP_FUNCTIONS_CPUS to the default of 0 and _APP_WORKER_PER_CORE to the default of 6.

Any idea what would cause this issue? Or am I missing something here?
