So wait was this all just serving Hello World?

  That's basically an echo server, which is a standard networking test. Leaving out the overhead of actually processing the payload means you're able to see how well the networking stack (and the parts of your program which interface with and manage it) can perform. Getting a clean number from a benchmark like this also makes it easier to estimate how much performance overhead is induced by the other parts of your program.

    I think it is just a fake number. Everything has running code also what if the VM you spin up is in a different part of the data center or next to another heavy network app? To me this seems like a waste of time to look at because depending on the logic it will not matter if the server can do twice as many hello world requests when it has to wait 30ms for business logic anyways. I want to see a real running system and the change out the web server as well as the hosting vm and see who comes out ahead with real systems. This just shows use this web server for making a CDN, nothing more.
