benchmarks as a web server with high concurrency of requests

[joeblew999]

If http-nu is bombarded with thousands of concurrent requests demanding complex loop mutations, I wonder how well it performs compared to a Golang or Rust web server ? I am worried about Ram spikes

Would be nice to have some insight on this.

Hi!

Right. http-nu performs surprisingly well! Surprising in that it's not a core priority; those are interop and immediacy (from a dx perspective).

It'd be good to establish benchmarks. It's fair to say a few thousand things a second isn't a concern from http-nu's perspective. It's more your Nushell closure. What work is that doing per iteration?
