Thanks for the feedback. Understood that any TPS measurement is relative. Just curious to see if there is any consesus on industry leaders in terms of performance. I am interested in tech solutions for how to scale flow horizontally across mutliple java based gateway instances based upon our own benchmarks. This is more of a java question tho'.
