Production Twitter on One Machine: 100Gbps NICs and NVMe Are Fast

https://github.com/NTAP/quant
"Quant uses the warpcore zero-copy userspace UDP/IP stack, which in addition to running on on top of the standard Socket API has support for the netmap fast packet I/O framework, as well as the Particle and RIOT IoT stacks. Quant hence supports traditional POSIX platforms (Linux, MacOS, FreeBSD, etc.) as well as embedded systems."

Very cool exercise. I enjoyed reading it.
I see a lot of comments here assuming that this proves something about Twitter being inefficient. Before you jump to conclusions, take a look at the author’s code: https://github.com/trishume/twitterperf
Notably absent are things like serving HTTP, not to even mention HTTPS. This was a fun exercise in algorithms, I/O, and benchmarking. It wasn’t actually imitating anything that resembles actual Twitter or even a usable website.
