Fair enough, but when considering the reasons and decisions behind using this server from the developers, isn’t your point kind of moot?

It’s not optimized for high ‘performance’. It’s optimized for low resource usage, and the ability to reliably serve large amounts of requests on a small budget, right?

They state that the website is currently serving 500K requests & 50GB of bandwidth per day. Respectfully, this is quite the opposite of your ‘only good for small embedded devices’ claim.

I think this is very interesting, and I’m glad I know this exists now! Worth considering if you have the right type of use case.

That's not a lot of requests.

My hobby website serves more traffic for a 1/4 of the cost and is easy to configure.

Care to mention what you are using for your hobby project?
