Hello all,
I'm currently working on a system that must be able to serve thousands of
requests per sec. The requests/responses contains only small amounts of data
(ajax XMLHTTPRequests) and are not long lived (connection keep). I'm using
java to generate the responses. Static content are served separately (by
lighttpd). I was just wondering if anybody has any opinions as to how this
can be done most effectively (highest throughput, low cpu consumption etc).
Some alternatives being:
lighttpd -> mod_proxy -> tomcat -> application code
lighttpd -> fastcgi -> application code
tomcat -> application code
asyncweb/mina -> application code
I would think that a key factor not mentioned above is : once your java
application gets the actual request, how long does it take it to
generate the response (however small the response actually is) ?
To be more explicit : you mention thousands of requests per second. To
server these, if generating each response takes 1 second, you would need
thousands of processes in order just to keep up.
There is also a question of bandwidth of course, even for small amounts
of data, thousands of requests amount to quite a bit, so to speak.
