  Project mention: Possibly stupid question, is java the right language for low latency and high throughput web servers? | reddit.com/r/java | 2022-11-03

  I tried a few load testing tools but really liked https://github.com/tsenart/vegeta. You can start by trying it on your Python and Node servers just to get familiar with the process of identifying and dealing with performance bottlenecks. If you're lucky this alone will be enough to solve your problem and you won't have to introduce another language into your technology stack.
