What actually increases the performance of an Appian environment. Is it increasing the number of kdb servers with process execution engines tuned up or increasing the number of app servers. I have a requirement to increase the performance of an environment that is performing deadly slow. Currently it has 1 kdb server with all engines and 2 app servers with 1 searchserver located on one of these app server. Apache is also running on the app server. Increasing the number of app servers is much unlikely due to redhat licenses. Actually we paid 33k for adding an extra app server recently. So will it matter if we increase the process execution engines or any other ideas are highly welcome. We saw an increase in the number of java classes with a monitoring tool when we upgraded our system from 7.9 to 7.10. In the morning to 2pm hours its at about 80k classes and sometimes in the evening it jumps above 100k and then crashes the server. Any i...

If the platform itself is running slow, perhaps you could identify issues with the applications that are causing the slowdown. Things like Data Management of process models (Deleting after 1-3 days), thinning your process instances by making use of small, more modular process models with asynchronous sub-processes and termination end nodes, deleting any un-needed large documents in the knowledge centers, avoiding constant import/exports of large applications, etc might help the environment. Fixing the root cause is always better than putting on a Band-Aid if possible.
