A comment on The Magical Mystery Merge Or Why we run FreeBSD-current at Netflix (2023) [pdf]. Parent comment
* The networking stack was faster at the time
* dtrace
* async sendfile(2) https://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/svn-src-head/2016-Januar...
Could they have contributed async sendfile(2) to linux as well? Probably. In 2024 these advantages seem to be moot: ebpf, io_uring, more maturity in the linux network stack plus FreeBSD losing more and more vendor support by the day .
