Feature Request: Forms Load Balancing

posted on May 3, 2019 Show version history

I know this is a complicated topic because the Forms Routing Service runs into all kinds of issues if it is running on more than one server, but load balancing capabilities would be an incredibly valuable option for high-use situations.

We are using Forms more and more each month and after going live with a new process last week we encountered an issue where the routing service tied up all of the available memory, which in turn caused the CPU to spike and several tasks to go into a "locked" state.

We can keep adding resources to the server to try and keep up with growth, but our ideal solution would be a load balanced environment with multiple servers handling requests.

Because we cannot run the Routing Service on multiple servers without causing issues, and that service is taking up the bulk of the resources, load balancing doesn't really make sense and our only option is to keep bulking up the server.

I've talked to Laserfiche team members about this before, so I know there's no "easy" solution at the moment, but I wanted to highlight how valuable this would be for our environment.

Based on our current rate of growth, it may eventually become a necessity. At the moment we only have about 625 active BP Instances, but we expect that to increase by over 1,000 just in the next couple months.

I'm glad this has been added in Forms 11, but I have a question about a version 10 setup. Does the Forms Routing Service use for memory or CPU? We want to upgrade to version 11, but have run into an issue with one of our primary prices during testing. So far we have not been able to find the field that is causing the unexpected error, so we might have to stay in 10 until the mystery can be solved.

Can you provide more details about the issue you ran into? What is the actual error message? It is an error for Forms 11 ?

In Forms 11, we have added the ability to set up a cluster for Routing Service to process more submissions at the same time. You can learn how to configure it from https://doc.laserfiche.com/laserfiche.documentation/11/administration/en-us/Default.htm#../Subsystems/Forms/Content/Forms/configuring-forms-clusters.htm
