Maximum simultaneous sockets for a single SFDC account?

We are currently using a single salesforce.com account via a web app to write to the contacts object in real time to the database with the WSDL. This web application is used by 15 stores located in the northeast. The idea is to have the web app push data on to SFDC - there will be no deletion at the web app end, only insert.

Can any SFDC guru tell me how many maximum simutaneous transactions the SFDC database will allow from a single login? Are there going to be any issues that we should be aware of? Am I asking the right question?

thanks,

alex

Hi alexk,

Great question.  There is a limitation on the number of connections that can be associated to a single set of credentials.  3 simultaneous connections is the default (you may be able to request a higher number from your sales rep, but it won't be more than about 10 or 15).  This means you may have to leverage a single application level connection across the site.  A single create (insert) call should take less than a second, so this may not be too bad.  You will need to do some load testing to see if this will be sufficient.  Otherwise, you will need to be sure to handle the exception that is raised when you bump up against the max number of connects and retry again later.
