Needs (2024)

  Needs (2000) really. This contrived test is using tiny VPSes (even the "big" machine is tiny), slow network-mounted DB storage, nothing like a production stack that a real API server would use. Bespoke simple profiling mechanism. Nothing wrong with OP learning the basics and experimenting, but there's nothing of value in the findings.

    Regarding the machine's sizes - I did it on purpose, to showcase that even with this limited resources, you can still achieve way better performance than most systems will ever need. I know that you can have significantly bigger machines; network-mounted DB storage on the other hand is not slow - it's designed specifically for these kind of use cases

      Local NVMe storage is incredibly fast though for databases. Probably not a big factor in your test here, but certainly a relevant factor if you was to push the DB more.

    The title reminds me of C10K problems: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C10k_problem https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C10k_problem
