500 requests/s with Ruby on Rails 4 on a 5$ / month server

Am I reading the ab output wrong or did you only make 40 requests and 13 of them failed?

Also there's no mention of what your test actually is?

Yeah spot on, the test is useless due to the small sample size. Rounding errors could give you 5000 requests/second if you're lucky.

Indeed

Complete requests: 40

Failed requests: 13

is far from good

And 28 were non 2xx, which is also a failure. Probably db issues since there is no way SQLite can handle 20 concurrent connections.

I corrected the blog post with a correct sample size. Thanks for the feedback!

You're missing the ab output now which also hurts the quality of the analysis.

I came to say the same thing. Probably best to just flag this and move on. The results show most of the requests failed.
