Trying to optimize autoscale options

Hello,

I am running my scraper on an AWS 8gb cpu, 16gb memory ecs.

Plain Text

    maxConcurrency: 200,
    maxRequestsPerCrawl: 500,
    maxRequestRetries: 2,
    requestHandlerTimeoutSecs: 185,

Right now the avg cpu and mem are both like 88%. Is there anything I can do here to optimize more?

I also have CRAWLEE_AVAILABLE_MEMORY_RATIO=.8

Hi , this is a case-by-case thing. It highly depends on scraped sites, whether you are using a browser, browser settings,...

what does eventLoop overloaded mean?

or how come currentConccurency is 18 when I have maxConcurrency at 200 and there are plenty of request?
