Typically, in distributed computing, you may only want to allow for a given number of requests to execute concurrently. Using Dapr's `app-max-concurrency`, you can control how many requests and events can invoke your application simultaneously.

Default `app-max-concurreny` is set to `-1`, meaning no concurrency.
Default `app-max-concurreny` is set to `-1`, meaning no concurrency limit is enforced.

## Different approaches

While this guide focuses on `app-max-concurrency`, you can also limit request rate per second using the **`middleware.http.ratelimit`** middleware. However, it's important to understand the difference between the two approaches:

- `middleware.http.ratelimit`: Time bound and limits the number of requests per second
- `app-max-concurrency`: Specifies the number of concurrent requests (and events) at any point of time.
- `app-max-concurrency`: Specifies the max number of concurrent requests (and events) at any point of time.

See [Rate limit middleware]({{< ref middleware-rate-limit.md >}}) for more information about that approach.
