It has more business logic, true, but the average request is just the usual "retrieve an object from the DB, modify a few columns, and save back". Just like in

It has more business logic, true, but the average request is just the usual "retrieve an object from the DB, modify a few columns, and save back". Just like in my project. They have a higher LoC because they have more use cases, but a single use case alone is not very complex and is comparable to my project's code in its complexity. So I think it's fair to compare the two when it comes to rps.
