> It can handle more than 500,000 orders per month
Hilarious because other languages are capable of that per minute not per month

I'd at least expect that to be possible in Node, and would be somewhat surprised if a Go or Rust framework didn't hit that mark.
Hello world will work, but once parsing, validation, and database queries get involved, you'll need some beefier hardware to get those numbers.
I can't get the cloud benchmarks for 2022 to work (a dedicated PowerEdge is the standard physical benchmark and that's not very realistic here), but according to these benchmarks: https://www.techempower.com/benchmarks/#section=data-r20&hw=... you're going to need some very optimized code to get close to 8k reqs/s.
My point was that the article quotes orders per month, while other systems are quoting requests per second. I found it funny that they tried to mask the low speed by using big numbers.
TL;DR: go can handle 1000+ RPS on a ridiculously small server
Maybe (probably) Go is still faster than PHP, but the hyperbole is being pushed a bit too far here.
