Everyone I know in the API / CDN / Proxy space switched from using ab to wrk years ago for good reason. PSA: Please stop using ab and use wrk/wrk2. ab doesn't even support HTTP 1.1...

Good to know! Would you be interested in performing the same tests and using `wrk` and report the difference?

It’s not just the tool, but also the web framework that has to support HTTP/1.1.

It would be more of apples to apples comparison to run it on the same setup you ran ab on. You can grab wrk here: https://github.com/wg/wrk Enjoy!
