Yep I feel the same about Elixir and Phoenix. It's way down but again, the "way down" is 20k requests per second. Not too shabby. The biggest project I've worked on had 50 requests per second, and that was an E-Commerce site that brought in 9 figures a year in revenue.

I'm sure IoT workflows are mainly where you start to see these more insane RPS numbers. But still, this just tells me there's so much great choice out there for pretty much any platform you want to stick with.

I'd love to see another metric that normalizes between Cloud and Physical, like $ per request. We don't know how much the cloud server cost vs the physical, do we? I mean it's a 10x difference in performance, is it a 10x difference in price?

Update: Azure D2v3 instances (used for the cloud benchmark) are about $55 a month. ($660 a year).

Just the Xeon in the physical costs $1,500. The full server probably costs $5k? So assuming a server has a life of 3 years, you're looking at the Azure instance being $1,980, the Dell being maybe $5k? So it's about 10x performance for 3x the price.

Someone please fix my math and fill in the gaps :)
