# Improving performance

Improving performance of your Data Center Edition in SonarQube Server 2025.6.

If you change the number of compute engine workers in the Sonar Qube Server UI, you must restart each application node for the change to take effect. You can configure up to 10 workers replicated across each application node. The number of workers is global and cannot be configured at the application node level. See [Improving performance](/sonarqube-server/2025.6/server-update-and-maintenance/maintenance/improving-performance.md) for more information.

For example, if you set 4 workers in the SonarQube Server UI and you have 2 application nodes, you have configured 8 workers total after you finish restarting all the application nodes (4 workers \* 2 nodes = 8 workers total).

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.sonarsource.com/sonarqube-server/2025.6/server-update-and-maintenance/data-center-edition/improving-performance.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
