hi @Anna Geller @Kevin Kho, how does one decide how many Docker Agent to run? How many concurrent flow task can a Docker Agent handle?

@Christopher Chong Tau Teng A single agent can manage many concurrent flow runs - the only reason to have multiple active agents is if you need to support flow runs on different deployment platforms e.g. Docker agent and a Kubernetes agent.

@Anna Geller noted, practically is there a maximum no of concurrent flow task for 1 docker agent?

There are no concurrency limits for an agent since agent is a lightweight process that only polls for new flow runs and deploys them to separate processes/containers, so it really doesn’t do much work on its own other than polling and offloading work that some other processes execute
