This is useful for services that have short surges but very little traffic around the month. If you only need a surge for 1 hour per month, then it should cost around $100/month.

I don't think tweaking a kernel and "easily" fit together. Unless you are kernel developer.

I think he means twiddling the kernel knobs in /proc to raise the limit of file descriptors. Last I checked, most distros default to 100k maxmimum file descriptors, with a different (10k) max per process. Changing the max by 'tweaking' involved echoing a new number to a file in /proc.

From 2013: https://www.metabrew.com/article/a-million-user-comet-application-with-mochiweb-part-1 https://www.metabrew.com/article/a-million-user-comet-applic.... It's pretty easy. Been working on a product doing this for 500k connections per machine (MQTT) back in 2014. EC2, m3.xlarge instances back then.
