Multiple instance performance issues

Question

I am using windows workflow 4.0 version in my project to manage workflow. One project gets created in the system which has 100 documents to be approved by users and each document should follow same workflow process. The document processing is parallel for 100 documents. Which ever finishes can go to the next workflow step. [Eg: Document Created - Send for Review - Reviewed - Approved]. Now I am creating 100 instances for 100 documents. But I am not sure about performance when the documents are getting increased phenomenally (Eg: 10000 documents). Also multiple project can be created in the system at any given point of time. Is there any better way to handle this scenario? The application is based on ASP.Net and running IIS.

Answer 1

Your workflow steps (Document Created - Send for Review - Reviewed - Approved) sound like they involve human interactions, meaning they'll proceed at human time scales. Minutes at a minimum, more likely hours or days. Workflow 4.0 is designed with this use case in mind, as instances that are not actively progressing will be persisted out to your database store. Scaling to the 10s of thousands of instances should not be a problem.
