Hi guys, I am new to UiPath and I am not fully aware regarding the workflow of UiPath tool and Orchestrator. So I am reaching out here regarding few queries that I have related to my use cases. Basically I have an app built in Django framework and there I have few actions/buttons on which I need to trigger an automation flow in UiPath and I can trigger it using the API tiggers provided by UiPath. I just want to know how can I handle many concurrent requests and trigger jobs for them at the same time. For example - In case If we get 20-30 requests at similar time then what should the approach to handle this case? Are we going to need as many robots as many requests are coming or is there any other approach that we can follow? Or any ideas what could be the potential solution here.

if anyone can share their experience with the similar kind of thing. It would be really helpful. Thank You

Welcome to the community

you dont need those many robots or licenses…if the license/robot is not free the process goes into pending state and will wait for the robot to get free

Hope this helps

cheers

It all depends on your requirements. If it takes 1 minute to process each item and you’re fine with it taking 30 minutes to process 30 items then you only need one job running. If you need those 30 items processed in 15 minutes then you’ll need two jobs running.

Thanks for the response, But in my use case I need all jobs to get processed right away without going into the pending state because user is waiting on the other side for the response of the process. In simple words when user click on the verify details button the process should run quickly and return the response as soon as possible to the user.

Thanks for the response, As I understood If I want my jobs to get processed right away without waiting then I need as many robots as requests? Right?

If that is the ask…if then you need those many licenses as the number of requests…again it depends on how much time each request takes…if it is fast enough accordingly the process can complete faster

Cheers

Technically yes but that’s not realistic nor practical. That’s not how automations are usually done.
