I get nothing. So after a while I told my bosses I would simply stop doing it, since the work to compensate us was still "in progress". It helped the rest of the team get a free day per on call week, which I guess is something, but still not enough for me personally.
I told them I wasn't even sure it was legal in my country (Spain) which I guess they didn't even discuss with legal, or legal didn't even blink.
Aaaahh so libuv actually runs a thread pool, TIL. I'm another victim of internet propaganda I guess 😅 . You know, I never actually checked libuv docs until now and they seem quite welt built.
The silliest thing I've just realized is that I knew that the first implementation of a web server in dotnet core was using libuv, and I still didn't think twice about the single threaded meme.
Thousands of requests per minute can mean many things so maybe you're referring to several hundred requests per minute, but one of our services at work gets 300 requests/second which is ~18K requests per minute and it's really not that much. We're using pretty cheap cloud services. Even thrice the traffic is pretty much a slow walk for your average production-grade web framework.
Web frameworks are built to support an insane amount of incoming requests, including node. The issue with node is the single threading and having to scale with worker threads AFAIK.
