You can cluster any number of Activiti instances to process this amount of process instances. So don't see a problem from an Activiti perspective. The database will probably be a bottleneck, so you might want to look into clustering the database as well.

Hi Binit,
Sorry for reviving the old thread, but just wanted to check if you did decide to go ahead with activiti and if it was able to scale. We are evaluating using activiti in our company, and our scales are no where near yours as of now, but as we expand use, they can start touching those numbers. Also, Activiti's ability to scale dictates our design decisions.
Thanks,

Activiti is designed as a stateless engine, so scalability should not be an issue.
You can add as many nodes as needed to an Activiti cluster.
