I knew somebody will call me out since I didn't give details. :D It was a 1-2 vCPU k8s pod which is still pretty impressive IMO. On my 20 CPU threads workstation I can easily achieve multi-million events per second. Even one of my Linux laptops can go at around 1 million but its ETH interface started overheating and couldn't sustain it longer. > Why use async or even Rust at all at such small loads? That's the better question, yeah. We had 200+ k8s pods and had to ingest a lot of data is the simple answer. Using anything except C++ or Rust would have made our cloud bill much bigger. Though I have to admit that nowadays I would be very strongly tempted to try with Golang or even OCaml's new multithreaded runtime.
