[bombax-support] Stress testing results

[QuickConnect]

Are there any stress testing results available?

I'm specifically interested in the number of concurrent users and the
effect on throughput. Also, Apache crashes after the number of
concurrent users gets high. Is this the case for Bombax or is it more
like YAWS.

Thank you.

Early on I did a lot of stress testing and found it to be very
resilient to high loads and the load balancing of the FastCGI requests
helps quite a bit with this. I don't have results for this esp. with
the current version, but there have been many benchmarks and stress
tests of nginx which is the current server technology that shows very
good scalability. Erlang, of course, handles multitudes of processes
very smoothly and has superb crash-recovery ability which Yaws
inherits, but in terms of pure performance even at high loads, I would
expect nginx and the C/Obj-C Bombax modules to outperform it
considerably.
