AgileData.io - Smoother Under Load: More Headroom for Backend Processing

We've increased the maximum number of concurrent instances for our Cloud Run functions and standardised how they are deployed. Together these changes give our backend processing layer more capacity to handle spikes in workload and make deployments more consistent and reliable.

The max-instances increase means that during periods of high activity — for example, multiple large file ingestions running at the same time, or a burst of user-triggered pipeline runs — the platform can spin up more parallel processing capacity before hitting a ceiling. The deployment standardisation ensures all functions are deployed with a consistent configuration, reducing the chance of subtle differences between functions causing unexpected behaviour.

**What's New:**

* Maximum instances for Cloud Run functions increased to handle higher concurrent loads
* Both changes applied across the entire Cloud Functions fleet

**What this means for you:**

* More reliable performance during peak usage periods
* Less likelihood of processing backlogs when multiple jobs run simultaneously
* Consistent, predictable behaviour across all backend processing functions
