  This might actually be the best short yet informative learning resource about “how to functionally build a load test” (that actually is worth a damn) I’ve ever seen

  I run a site with 15k users and about 10-30 concurrent users. This vid gave me some great ideas for optimizations. I had already moved caching to user device and cloudflare however now I know how to properly test it as my user base grows. Thanks!!

  I did exactly this but for a 512mb server that has client use. Rust, postgres, react. <br>😅<br>I started to optimize by caching so db isn&apos;t getting hammered. Then started to cache at cdn level so my server wasn&apos;t getting hit as much. It was able to handle 1000+ concurrent users with ease when I was running k6 bench mark. I never really pushed it like you have because the most request I was going to get on my server was like 20-30 request maybe every minute and perhaps 20-100 req per second spike when everyone decides to upload all at once.<br><br>You&apos;ve also did one thing I left out, which is, putting in an incredible time into making this video.<br><br>Neet

  the amount of stuff I learn for working on actual scalable projects with your videos is phenomenal, and you go way past the basic &quot;psql + node + typescript&quot; kind of project, it&apos;s so refreshing, instantly liked and subscribed
