I don't believe the built-in Node.js http server implements backpressure or 503 errors out of the box. Do the other systems tested do so? Could that explain the poor behavior and out-of-memory crash?

None of the tested webservers were returning 503.
While no 503s were observed in the test, there were timeouts. I updated the article with corresponding graph.
