There are presentation about how Netflix uses BSD for video delivery for its performance, so it can't be that bad.
- xyproto 3y agoUnless Netflix compares the performance with Linux and publishes the results, it's hard to know if it's a great idea or just based on the whims of the most senior sysadmins.
- belgesel 3y agoIIRC the main reason to use FreeBSD instead of Linux was BSD being a lot simpler and have a lot more room to optimize their specific use case.
- King1st 3y agoBSD is really do for companies that want to keep their code closed, but not start from scratch. I see this as a large reason why Netflix uses them and Sony uses BSD on playstations.
