I like Nginx, its a great web server, but really?
- Kudos 15y agoI pushed it to 10k without much effort on a relatively small box. This doesn't sound far fetched to me. Edit: I actually pushed it to 10k/s rather than 10k simultaneous, which I suppose is a different matter.
- j_col 15y agoBig difference between 10k and 100k, and note he speaks of "hundreds of thousands" so I'm taken that as >200k simultaneous connections on a single box.
- lucian1900 15y agoIt's not really all that impressive, most async servers boast similar stats. You can get tens of thousands on one multicore machine with twisted easily.
- j_col 15y agoBut what about hundreds of thousands with Nginx? Would love to see a benchmark or hear from someone who has achieved this on one machine (of any size).
