These aren't requests for TCP ACKs to establish a session, nor even requests for a simple static resource. They're requests for the live status of an inventory

These aren't requests for TCP ACKs to establish a session, nor even requests for a simple static resource. They're requests for the live status of an inventory of physical goods spread across thousands of distribution centers on six continents that are themselves gaining and losing thousands of products per second. A system that can return a reasonably accurate view of that state 80k times per second is not the same thing as a system that can send 80k http responses with "Hello ${NAME}" per second.
- ndriscoll 3y agoI'm not talking about just establishing a session. My questioning there was just why Internet vs. local would be different. On a local network, I've gotten 70k json CRUD requests out of a netty based service + postgresql with 4 cores and a single SSD. I imagine search is more complex and expensive than CRUD, but 80k isn't something you can only do with a "hello world" tier application.
