Thanks. Asynchronocity is one thing but there is one thing that in theory can achieve better performance than asynchronicity alone: I'm referring to the reactive programming paradigm which benefit from the concept of backpressure.
If you've heard of it, do you think it could achieve even better performance?

- matt42 6y agoI had a look at the video, but I don't think there is backpresure in this benchmark since there is only 512 connections max and each connections wait for the server response before sending a new request. So in other words the load generator never send more request/s that the server is able to handle. (tell me if I missunderstood backpressure)
- The_rationalist 6y agoMmh then I wonder if the techempowerUp benchmark suite would benefit from a new benchmarck that is backpressure sensitive, thus increasing its coverage of real world workloads?
- matt42 6y agoyes, it has been discused already to increase the number of connections. But still, several thousands of simultaneous connections is still ok for the best performing frameworks...
