The most basic cause for bad technical decisions are wrong assumptions about technology.

If you believe every other web framework will get crushed with a few dozen simultaneous requests, you will be absolutely sure this is the solution you have been waiting for.

I am curious to try Erlang out, but I know exactly how many dozen requests my current tools can handle. And it's a lot more than a couple.



I'd be interested in some numbers. Is it "a few"? "some"? Give us some vague quantifiers here!


Before I roll-out apps to the folks who will really torture them in production-like servers, I play with about 100 simultaneous connections.


100 is really only a few dozen :)


but it's close to 10 dozen...which is almost a dozen dozen...

I dunno. Vagueries. :)


Gross.


But that is on a notebook. The numbers the server folks put them through are much higher.
