It's mostly RAM allocated per client. E.g. Postgres is very much limited by this fact in supporting massive numbers of clients. Hence pgbouncer and other kinds of connection pooling which allow a Postgres server to serve many more clients than it has RAM to allow connecting. If your Node app spends vety little RAM per client, it can indeed service a great many of them. A PHP script that does little more than checking credentials and invoking sendfile() could be adequate for the case of serving small files described in the article. |
