Can you share your Hetzner VPS address, do you do your own TLS termination and can I test your endpoint with Apache benchmark? I ask because theoretical numbers, in my opinion, are thrown around to often, and when I hear thousands of responses/second on budget VPS's I want to see real life applications that actually handle that load. In my experience the difference between Apache and nginx is negligible, and if your service that runs on a $5 (or euro) a month VPS handles thousands of requests/second I'm going to be more than impressed when I see those numbers myself through a test.
- BenjiWiebe 3y agoI was actually going to test that myself, for you, with a $5 Linode. However, I spent about an hour fighting with siege/drill/hey and finally gave up. siege crashes and locks up all the time, as well as sometimes getting stuck for a minute or two between requests. hey reported 2 req/second for https, which I don't find believable either...
