Hi everyone,
I’m currently working on a RnD task regarding Parallel in UiPath. Can I ask what are the Pros and Cons when using Parallel (machine’s resource, performance, …). Thank you so much in advance.

Hi

I would like to share some of the technical pros and cons of parallel execution of bots or even usage of machine resource in UiPath:

Pros:

Increased speed:
Parallel execution can significantly reduce the amount of time it takes to complete an automation process. This is because multiple bots can work on different tasks at the same time.

Improved efficiency:
Parallel execution can help to improve the efficiency of your automation processes by reducing the amount of manual intervention required. This can free up your team to focus on other tasks.

Increased scalability:
Parallel execution can be scaled to meet the needs of your business. As your business grows, you can simply add more bots to the process to keep up with demand.

Reduced resource usage:
Parallel execution can help to reduce the resource usage of your automation processes. This is because multiple bots can share resources, such as CPU, memory, and storage.

Improved fault tolerance:
Parallel execution can help to improve the fault tolerance of your automation processes. This is because if one bot fails, the other bots can continue working.

Cons:

Increased complexity:
Parallel execution can make your automation processes more complex to design and maintain. This is because you need to ensure that the bots are working together correctly and that they do not interfere with each other.

Increased risk of errors:
Parallel execution can increase the risk of errors in your automation processes. This is because it is more difficult to track and debug multiple bots working at the same time.

Increased security risk:
Parallel execution can increase the security risk of your automation processes. This is because multiple bots can access sensitive data.

Increased costs:
Parallel execution can incur additional costs, such as the cost of additional bots and resources

I would like to share this article as well

Hope this helps
