Hello All, Obliged to be part of Erlang Community. Simple question. I am building an API for load testing purpose. If I need to scale an elli rest api to one million concurrent users, What hardware configuration should I be looking forward to ? Is it possible to do it on single node ? What about bandwidth requirements ? I’ll be having a different node altogether for db.
The number of users really only addresses the memory requirements. If you spawn a million processes you may use a few GB of memory. If you put a million rows in an mnesia table you use memory there.
The real question is how many transactions per second? I see that the free Elli access is rate limited to 20 requests/minute so you could handle that on the smallest of hardware.

I think OP may be referring to the elli HTTP library.

Yes, Elli HTTP Library. BTW Any thoughts on if 2.5 Gbe ports would suffice for million concurrent peeps bombarding the endpoint.
