One question I always had in mind about such high performance web servers: What kind of networking stack do you use to actually make use of it? This is probably a limitation of our VPS host, but on a given box it usually maxes out at around 1000 req/s while the webserver could do more. Can you get AWS to 200K? Azure? Google App Engine? Or am I just doing something wrong?

- m_mueller 10y agoThat's what I expected. Yes, when you actually need on the order of 100k req/s, doing this over 100 vps or even 10 dedicated doesn't look that good over just 2-3 boxes in your own datacenter. That is, if you already have one. On the other hand even Netflix has moved on to Amazon, so there must be something to it.
- qaq 10y agoNetflix get's 70% discount of list price, they also consume over 30% of AWS resources. They are pretty good match for AWS as they have extremely spiky workload.
