It was considered innovative when it was first shared here eight years ago.

Anything more innovative happened since (honestly curious)?

I don't think so, but my guess is raw performance rarely matters in the real world.

I once explored this, hitting around 125K RPS per core on Node.js. Then I realized it was pointless, the moment you add any real work (database calls, file I/O, etc.), throughput drops below 10K RPS.

Storage and database doesn’t have to be that slow, that’s just architecture. I have database servers doing 10M RPS each, which absolutely will stress the network.

We just do the networking bits a bit differently now. DPDK was a product of its time.

What DB engine is it? What hardware?
