[erlang-questions] Getting erlang represented in framework benchmark

[Wilson MacGyver]

I saw this generating quite a bit of buzz. They are accepting pull request.

Maybe a good way to promote erlang.

It would be much more interesting to see benchmarks that evaluate
response latency or maximum number of concurrent connections. Or a
combination of both. That's where Erlang will really shine.

Requests/s is boring (and absolutely doesn't mean one server is faster
than another!), especially with keep-alive. As I mentioned in my talk in
SF, requests/s benchmarks weren't able to show any performance increase
in recent Cowboy versions, despite production nodes being able to handle
2 times more traffic than older versions.
