> a raspberry pi can pretty much serve 100k req. / second
I appreciate the sentiment, but my intuition says that number is too high. What would that look like? I can't picture nginx or haproxy serving up a static 'hello world' response at that volume on a Pi3.
And if you do anything with a slow-ish 3rd party API you're probably going to hit the TCP socket limit before you can respond to 100k/s.
Legitimately curious about whether my intuition is wrong. I don't have an unused Pi handy to test it myself.
> This test pitted a native C++ server against a scripted Node.js one, so of course the outcome was given. Well, not really. If I run the same test using µWebSockets.js for Node.js, the numbers are a stable 75k req/sec (for cleartext). That’s still 8.5x that of Node.js with Fastify and just shy of 75% of µWebSockets itself.
Edit 2: Doing a bit more research and finding some other benchmarks online, it seems like 100k with µWebSockets is plausible. I recant my skepticism.

Edit: It's possible you're citing https://levelup.gitconnected.com/serving-100k-requests-secon... ? Pretty interesting article in any case, especially this claim:
