Alfresco content service is throwing ETIMEDOUT and ESOCKETTIMEDOUT

[loharms]

We are trying to send 2000 requests to Alfresco content service(On-premise setup) with 20 users in 100 seconds as per our project use case. We are getting below errors:

ETIMEDOUT: 410 , ESOCKETTIMEDOUT: 61

Is it the expected behavior? Is there any rate limit on the service?

How are you making the requests? 

[loharms]

We are using request module from node js in our project. There we got the multiple timeouts while sending the multiple requests to Alfresco service. So we tried stand-alone program with 'Artillery' utility just to check if it is really a Alfresco issue. Atillery utility requires endpoint url and authentication information in yaml file just like below:

config:
  target: 'http://<host:port>'
  phases:
    - duration: 100
      arrivalRate: 20
  defaults:
    headers:
      Authorization: 'Basic <authentication_token>'
scenarios:
  - flow:
    - get:
        url: "/browser"

Getting reply as below:
