So wait, in his first post, "aleph (~8.5K req/s) edges out Node.js v.0.1.100 (~7.0K req/s)" which was with one node.js process on one core. Node.js scales fairly linearly (from what I've seen) as you add additional processors and processes, so I find it very hard to believe that running an additional node.js process would still be slower than aleph. I say testing fail.
- swannodette 16y agoDifferent architectures, different OSes, different results. On a Macbook 13 inch Core 2 Duo, Node outpaced Aleph. I posted the code, anyone with the time can confirm.
- felixge 16y agoI think Amazon EC2 cannot be trusted for these benchmarks. On the physical hardware I tested node scales very linearly with the amount of cores added. On Ec2 I have seen very strange results / bad performance. There is something seriously odd here, and I suspect it has to do with Amazons virtualization. On the box the author tested with, I would expect node (or nginx) to easily serve 50k req / sec. I'll have to do some more research to figure this out.
