One part of the config that limits the number of concurrent connections
an erchef server is able to handle is the db connection pool
size. Without seeing more details on logs and such, my first guess is
that the erchef server is exhausting its db connection pool.

You can tune the db connection pool and the max connections allowed by
postgres.

    erchef['db_pool_size'] = 100
    postgresql['max_connections'] = 200

+ seth
