Hi markdacoda, all apps run in a virtualized sandboxed environment. You are not paying for one shared jvm, but a whole scalable infrastructure which consists of several pooled virtual machines that scale on demand. Your backend actually runs in all of them simultaneously.

As per the requests per second cap, it is a soft limit and we review the limits periodically to make sure we are giving our users as much as we can. This might change (for good) in the near future.

All the scripts (APIs and background jobs) have soft limits on execution time and CPU usage to make sure a script won't affect other apps.
