I know not the same use case, but nginx will serve near 100K requests per second of a static site on a moderately powerful server. Server side generated SPA empowered by K8 solution drops that to a dozen. Those number discrepancies are comical.

I must be too old to enjoy recent resume building architectures....

What does that have to do with kubernetes? Nginx runs fast on kubernetes also.

fly is not based on k8s or docker https://fly.io/blog/docker-without-docker/

they just use docker api, hence why I don't think there is the resource waste typical of k8s

I haven't run benchmarks but speed wise containers shouldn't slow down app requests (except in a few cases with very specific kernels, which I unfortunately experienced in production - but I was told it was just bugs)

I'm assuming Fly.io offering is powered by K8.

fly.io is simply a VM provider. You can achieve the same requests per second there as any VM host. The person you're replying to just has a comically low expectation of performance.
