Hi Team,

How Many JCR Sessions can an AEM instance will be able to handle.? is there any way to determine the total number of sessions that are running in AEM instance and if any threshold has been reached to alarm before the system crash.?

    Hi,

    technically there is no limit on the amount of running sessions. But running sessions are a bad indicator for system load at all, as there are cases, where sessions are supposed to stay open for some time, without affecting system performance.

    So you should rather focus on other indicators to measure load. And btw: AEM is not supposed to crash under severe load (unless it rans into an OOM), but it should just get slower.

    kind regards,
    Jörg

    There is no set answer - depends upon environmental factors. See this blog from Joerg as background:
