edumassuQ: As Instacharts is a shared resource, is it possible to saturate if I generate too much graphics at once?
I use AWS for my own company online platform, AWS help us to create graphics for our pdf reports which are on demand during the month, on a typical report there is around 15-20 graphics. We do not create a lot of pdf report but our concern is that as a shared resource we may get no graphic if instachart is busy working for others. Do you have an idea if this might be an issue? what is the capacity of your server?

Thanks for checking out InstaCharts for your business! We currently do not offer any guarantees around image generation. It is possible a "no graphic" image will be returned.
I would say most images take between 1-5 seconds to be returned (longer, if there are more than a few thousand data rows in your sheet). If there is heavy usage, it could take longer to return your images - if you place your pdf report generation in a queue and increase your timeouts to wait for images, that should help to eliminate problems.
I hope this helps to answer your question!
