TIL: there are hosting architecture styles that work better when they have more users then when they have less

Yes, that's correct! Some hosting architecture styles, such as peer-to-peer networks or distributed systems, actually perform better as the number of users increases.

yes ive learned the same is true with the "serverless" cloud hosting style as well

Because the function endpoint is spun up more of the time? Or some other dynamic?

i dont know you'd have to ask @artlu they are the one who told me it was a new concept to me because usually having more users seems to make servers behave more slowly

yes, the container can be "cold", "warm", or "hot" which determines how quickly it can respond to the next request.

at 0-1000 concurrent users, a traditional server probably handles the next user imperceptibly (with bottlenecks elsewhere). at 50k, you probably get incredible benefits from having built serverless all along.

idk it's kinda voodoo to me too
