getPastEvents cannot handle multiple requests?

Question

When I send about 100-120 requests in async, it is fine, the event will give me a response. But above 150 or so, I get "Invalid JSON RPC response: ""

contractInstance.getPastEvents('create', { filter: { cid: addr, date: date, slot: slot}, fromBlock: 0, toBlock: 'latest' }, function (error, event) {}) — kjroger94, Commented Aug 23, 2019 at 3:27

Geth is an ethereum client but it is not a high performance RPC server.

To resolve some calls like getPastEvents it has to traverse a lots of history. It was never designed to respond to thousands of queries per second.

If you want to achieve such performance it is better to store the events you are interested in a suitable database.

Pooling the Data once and then saving it in DB seems like a proper solution.

would it be the same for a function to get data? Query via a function that gets the data from the index
