can 500 gateway error come if the API is hit more than 100 times in a sec?

Hi,

I have created a API proxy with a backend URL. What we observe is if the API is hit more than 100 times in a second by automated test scripts., we see few requests failing with 500 gateway timeout error.

We are not able to see if the backend is giving this error or if Apigee is giving this error, because apigee trace session is giving only 20 requests.

Just want to check if this many number of requests are handled by Apigee comfortably or will their be any traffic issues.

Thanks in advance.

100 TPS is no problem.

The Target performance dashboard should help determine if the backend is throwing the errors or timing out. http://edge.apigee.com/platform/#/{org}/target-performance

You could also try creating a report for that specific proxy.

There's a bigger discussion about proxy complexity, payload size, what environment you're running in (private cloud, hosted, developer, etc.) when you really dive into capacity planning, but that's overkill here.
