Even in 2007 when I was starting to cut my teeth on larger web traffic there was a lot of discussion around serving 10k concurrent connections. I remember being blown away by a graph showing high throughput at 70k concurrent by a YAWS server, and started following Erlang as a result.

I was in a position to mostly stick with Apache for various non technical reason basically for long enough that eventually Apache got to the point that it could handle the traffic I needed to deal with especially with a CDN in front of it.
