How to increase performance for on-prem App Service

This document describes how to increase performance for on-prem App Service.

Deploy Service node cluster to scale out app service performance

An App Service on-prem is always created in a Service Node Group. To improve the throughput of the App Service, create a new Service Node in the same group. Bumblebee Networks automatically installs App Services in the new Service Node. Endpoints' incoming traffic is spread among all Service Node. Currently the platform supports up to 6 Service Nodes in one location. Contact support@bumblebeenet.com if you need to install more service nodes.
