Memory management in Streamlit dashboards

[laciferin]

@patpal Thank u for bringing this up to the forum. You will find ur answer in:

Multiple Users

How exactly does streamlit handle multiple simultaneous users? Will it run compute for each additional user on a new thread or do requests get processed serially on the same thread?

If u want to limit users u can do it in code, by implementing a rate limiter and check if the rate exceeds when in the beginning of app.py.

if rate > 20:
st.error(“max users exceeded”)
st.stop()

For counting the number of users, I suggest using queue, python’s Counter (Thread safe counters).
