# FLOWPIPE_MAX_CONCURRENCY_CONTAINER

# FLOWPIPE_MAX_CONCURRENCY_CONTAINER

Sets the maximum number of `container` step instances that can execute concurrently across all pipeline instances.  When the limit is reached, `container` steps will be queued until enough `container` steps complete to bring the count under the limit. 

The minimum value is `1`, and the default is `25`.

## Usage 


Set the concurrency to 100:
```bash
export FLOWPIPE_MAX_CONCURRENCY_CONTAINER=100
```

Reset to the default value:
```bash
unset FLOWPIPE_MAX_CONCURRENCY_CONTAINER
```
