So again, large scale or real time, which is not something most setups do. Say you process video and audio streams, that makes sense, or if retransmissions are costly at scale. But does it matter for anything else?
I'm trying to find the actual general benefit, but so far I'm not finding it. There is a technical benefit, but not on the scale of say h2 multiplexing or binary vs. plain-text protocols.
- jeffbee 7y agoSure, if you're not trying to serve with low latency then this doesn't matter to you. But if you're happy with hundreds of milliseconds of tail latency you also don't need SSDs, 64-core CPUs, 100g ethernet, or anything else newer than ten years old. It's only interesting to evaluate the software on the frontier of performance.
