You wouldn't get 400k connections on Cloud Run using erlang, because it limits concurrent requests per container to 250.

    Most software becomes unhappy if you send unlimited concurrent requests. It's better to have a hard limit that can be raised than to find out under fire what your software tolerates.

        No idea. Probably, but it depends on whether that limit is hard coded or is a config flag that an account team can get changed.
