In this show, I go into detail on how HAProxy achieved 2 million HTTP requests per second. This is a very well-written article that discusses how the HAProxy team benchmarked the product on a 64 core ARM machine leading to over 2 million requests per second. There are many components and low-level points that I try to elaborate on, timestamps below.
