What performance problem with FD? How many requests exactly are you handling per second with what code or processing? Are you sure its not what he just mentioned, ulimit? The docs say client requests so yes its just to make them.

I'm handling from 4k to 10k simultaneous requests.

And about the client requests, hmm ok, no problem. I will keep looking. Thanks!

Why do you need to handle 5k requests simultaneously? Maybe you mean per second? Maybe you can add a server and do round-robin DNS? Then you will he able to do double unless there is a database bottleneck or something. But you said concurrent which 4k really concurrent is asking a lot.

Currently, we are with a C# application and in the process to migrate to Node.js. I wan't to prove that Node.js can handle huge concurrency, so I wan't to benchmark the highest possible numbers I can. We are currently usign AWS to load balace.

And it's being a great exercise anyway.

We are using Redis for session store. Do you thing raising this parameter can influence on Redis performance? Because in the Redis server, the service is only using 5% in process, when Node.js is 99%.
