What if your application involves multiple processes and threads?
- eyberg 5y agoNanos supports multiple threads but not multiple processes so you can have as much performance as you have underlying hardware but if you are using something like an interpreted language where is normal to spin up X app-workers behind a reverse proxy those become vms. (I should point out that those languages are single-thread/single-process to begin with.)
