API Concurrency Limits - Staging vs. Production

Hello B2BRouter Team and Community,

I'm currently working on integrating with your API and have been conducting some preliminary performance testing against your staging environment.

During my tests, I've observed that our API calls seem to be effectively handled concurrently up to approximately 4 simultaneous requests. Beyond this point, I've noticed a significant increase in individual request latency, suggesting that the staging API might be optimized or configured to handle around this number of concurrent connections efficiently.

I have a couple of questions regarding this observation:

  1. Is this observed concurrency limit of around 4 simultaneous calls on the staging API an intentional design? We're trying to understand if this is the expected behavior for the staging environment.
  2. What are the expected or recommended concurrent call limits for your production API environment? We need this information for proper capacity planning and to ensure our integration performs optimally once deployed.

Understanding these limits is crucial for us to design our application's integration strategy effectively and set realistic performance expectations.

Thank you in advance for your insights and assistance!
