BlackShield is built on high-performance, autoscaling serverless infrastructure. Explore our throughput benchmarks, operational ceilings, and guidance for high-volume deployments.
Peak Ingestion Throughput
10,000+findings / sec
Sustained burst ingestion capacity with automated buffer queuing.
Query & Triage Latency
< 50milliseconds
Average response time on complex multi-dimensional vulnerability queries.
Concurrent Scanner Runs
50+parallel CI jobs
Simultaneous pipeline scanner submissions per tenant without throttling.
Monitored Asset Footprint
100k+assets / workspace
Repositories, container images, and cloud resources mapped concurrently.
Scanner & Telemetry Ingestion
Operational limits and burst behavior
Single Payload Upload Limit
50 MB per raw scanner bundle
Larger monorepo scans automatically stream via chunked uploads.
Queue Ingestion Processing
Real-time asynchronous pipeline
Decouples scanner execution from report generation for zero data loss.
Deduplication Window
Deterministic real-time dedup
Repeated CI scans update existing finding state without creating duplicates.
Network Sensor & SIEM Stream
10,000 events / sec / sensor
High-throughput flow analysis via dedicated edge sensor appliances.
API Rate Limits & Authentication
Operational limits and burst behavior
Standard API Key Rate Limit
1,000 requests / minute
Includes token-bucket burst allowance up to 2,500 req/min for batch CI sync.
Administrative Console Actions
120 requests / minute
Applies to sensitive operations (user creation, API key rotation, deletion).
Session Concurrency
Unlimited active user sessions
Full team access without concurrent seat contention or license lockouts.
Enterprise Dedicated Ceiling
Custom quotas on request
Dedicated high-capacity API rate limits available for Enterprise tiers.
Data Retention & Compliance Storage
Operational limits and burst behavior
Active Operational Triage
90 days hot live state
Instant sub-50ms search and filter access across open and recent findings.
Compliance Historical Evidence
Up to 7 years immutable archive
Cryptographically preserved audit logs and signed provenance for SOC 2 / ISO 27001.
Cryptographic Tenant Isolation
Physical per-tenant partition
Zero shared database contention; optional Customer Managed Keys (AWS KMS).
Audit Log Export Batch Size
100,000 records / export
Instant JSON / CSV streaming directly to your security data lake.
Operational Best Practices for High-Volume Workloads
Maximize throughput and prevent queue latency in high-density CI/CD environments:
1. Stagger Scheduled ScansDistribute scheduled repository and cloud scans across a 15-minute window rather than triggering all scans at the top of the hour.
2. Stable Target IdentitiesUse deterministic identifiers (commit hash, repository slug, cloud ARN) to enable rapid single-pass deduplication.
3. Jittered RetriesConfigure scanner clients to use exponential backoff with random jitter to absorb transient network fluctuations seamlessly.
