Lots of posts here are talking about Elixir's concurrency and performance, but in benchmarks like techempower, Elixir comes fairly low.
Can someone help me rationalize this discrepancy?
Also, in general, for a Digital Ocean droplet, how many requests per second (db query based) can Elixir handle while maintaining a sub 200ms latency?
- jrsj 5y agoWell it’s pretty competitive if you limit it to dynamic languages + eliminate some outliers (weird non-Node JS runtimes, web frameworks mostly written in C that happen to be called from Python/PHP, etc)
- jtwebman 5y agoAlmost no business application is written for performance at raw request speed. What Elixir brings is far more the that. Watch this if you want to understand why so many people fall in love with it. https://youtu.be/JvBT4XBdoUE https://youtu.be/JvBT4XBdoUE
