Ask HN: What's your favorite way of getting a web app up quickly in 2018?

Sorry to fact check here but on my Rails app I am getting 200ms return times. This is running a web application and a few hybrid mobile applications. Are you saying that basically out of the box with Elixir/Phoenix I would get 20ms return times? That would be amazing but I find that highly unlikely.

Yes, and likely faster.

That’s quite interesting. I’m going to have to give this a try under real world condition. This gives a pretty good argument for massive improvement.

For my load balancer heartbeat checks, I'm returning responses in 200µs.

That’s a highly unrealistic real world scenario. I’d like to see a page under load with actual queries. Heartbeat checks are far from actual real world examples of much of anything.

I guess my point was: that’s the baseline. It’s an order of magnitude faster the 20ms your saying is unlikely. That leaves a lot of headroom for hitting the db and things done. The api I’m working on isn’t currently being hit super hard, but for most of my endpoints 25ms is pretty average.
