Zen 6c is about to get 256 Core Per Socket, 512 vCPU / Thread, or 1024 vCPU in a Dual Socket System. That is 2560 Request Per Second ( or PageView ), and this doesn't even include caching.

If I remember correctly that is about half of what StackExchange served on daily average over 8 servers. I am sure using Go or Crystal would have scale this at least 10x if not 20x.

The problem I see is that memory cost isn't dropping which means somewhere along the graph the memory cost per process together will outweight whatever advantage this has.

Still, sounds like a fun thing to do. At least for those of us who lived through CGI-Bin and Perl era.



People use crystal?


Kagi is built with Crystal.
