> The claim that low thread counts are typical for web applications (and thus what people should focus on) is inaccurate. There are a large number of AWS customers who run applications using Aurora, and it is very common for them to run with hundreds of threads (and many customers choose to run with thousands). For your typical web application, you do have very low thread counts, and you usually get parallelization through multiple instances of the web application (in my case, an API).
