If this is just about load balancing, then they could probably get better performance from haproxy, right? Anyone should be able to exceed 200 req/s with haproxy. In fact, you should be able to get around double that or more.

The point is the title is useless. It tells you almost nothing. That blog is a joke.

Well it is average req/s so peak should be much higher, and they probably can average much more than what they are doing now in case of spikes and other such things.

But yeah the title is pretty much useless.
