[Seaside] Concurrent requests from multiple sessions

[Sebastian Sastre]

Hi Ondrej,

are you using an ODBC connection? What comes to mind is to check if maybe the FFI call to ODBC or whatever driver you are using to get into DB2 is blocking the VM running that image until it gets the answer.

Whatever the case, you seem to need to scale your app horizonatally with many images.

At least that’s how I do it.

Other than that, there is something that you probably don’t want to even hear about but for what’s worth: a REST backend and a single page application scales really well due to clients’ CPU dividing load and RESTful backends having way better parallelisation
