when deploying my website, does the web works like threads in default,
for example, I have a global array variable (my website has low data transfer, so my global variables are not large)
does person A press a button and the array is filling with person A data
meanwhile, person B comes in and presses the same button, does the data collide or it's individual threats like?

Depends a bit of what you are using. In common backend engines and languages, each request is its own instance, so if person A is manipulating a global value of his instance, it does not affect on person b instance.

That should absolutely not be a consideration ! Either you're doing it right or you're doing it wrong, not 'halfway right' depending on usage.

I think @EkBass is right in saying with common webservers (e.g. Apache) each client request is running in their own thread and you should not worry about it. It would be very strange if one web client suddenly sees data that was entered by another web user somewhere else in the world !
But when in doubt, by all means test it out. It should not be hard to force the situation and see what happens.
