> "when hosted on a $6/month server"

So with hardware specs better than the Chinese laptop I bought second-hand for 150 EUR (which has a Celeron J CPU), the very same one that can serve 2000 req/s on Elixir and 5000 req/s with Rust, then?

Sure, waiting on the DB is often 95% or more of the request, I get it, but 0.2 requests per second (which is the 500K orders per month when you do the math) is nothing to brag about regardless of which language or DB are being used.

It's even below the level of having a bash script doing the heavy lifting.
