Reminds me of when my university changed from “CCnet”, running all courseware/grading on custom code written by an engineering professor running on a tower under his desk to WebCT/blackboard.
The former worked fast and without any issues, but the latter just groaned and groaned and crashed.
During the transition, a prof asked the class which one to use and all 250 people said in unison “CCnet”.
“ Its main virtues were the stark, no-nonsense interface and the incredibly efficient (although complex) database system that made CCNet ideal for running large numbers of courses with very little by way of server computing resources.”

We have a Rails app that struggles at 50 req/sec. It has an embedded Angular app whose back end easy handles 10,000 .
One of the reasons were trying to migrate is that Rails servers cost us almost an engineer salary, where our other backend is ~200/month
I hit SHIFT-CTRL-r to watch the page reload under the network debugger so I could get a snapshot of the total size, which looks to be about 100KB, just eyeballing the sums, so at 10MB/s it should be able to serve around 100 requests/second, which is enough for most websites, even ones getting hugged.
