10/26/2021, 1:08 AMHi, the scheduler does a loop across all the connections to schedule which is 0(n) on the total number of connections.
We’ve seen this take up to 20 - 30 seconds at 2.5k total connections. Depending on your scheduling latencies, this might be a limitation.

10/26/2021, 7:07 AMHey Vijay we had about 6k connections and we had seen it takes 1-2 minutes before it schedules by going through all the connections
1. We have used custom scheduler to distribute the sync load across the day
2. Also I think moving to EKS made running multiple jobs / horizontal scaling much easier.
