It really depends on what you're doing while handling your requests. It may or may not be reasonable. Are you touching external resources such as a database?
Can you provide a minimal example to reproduce? It would also be useful if you supplied the exact commands you are running. I have managed to get many tens of thousands of requests a second with <100ms latency quite easily writing my own Go servers. Here's an example of 10kreq/sec for 5 seconds on my puny laptop (go1.7rc1): $ vegeta attack -rate=10000 -duration=5s <<<'GET http://localhost:9090' | > tee results.bin | vegeta report Requests [total, rate] 50000, 9984.21 > Duration [total, attack, wait] 5.023471687s, 5.00790634s, 15.565347ms > Latencies [mean, 50, 95, 99, max] 1.11525ms, 431.481µs, 5.363834ms, > 43.301123ms, 43.301123ms > Bytes In [total, mean] 950000, 19.00 > Bytes Out [total, mean] 0, 0.00 > Success [ratio] 0.00% > Status Codes [code:count] 404:50000 > Error Set: > 404 Not Found Go code: package main > import "net/http" > func main() { > http.ListenAndServe(":9090", nil) > } Granted, it's not doing anything, just serving a 404. But you didn't specify what your handler is doing other than returning an error. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "golang-nuts" group.
