   1. There's a huge gap between "big tech" and "100 users." Fosstodon—the server you are on right now—claims 16k users.

   2. That is often true, but it _often_ also has to do more with the _rest of the system_ and not just the worker process. For example: caching and dbs.

   3. Using the GC is, again, like Z on the list of problems (maybe S) for the scale we're talking about and has been in Java basically since before the G1 became the default five years ago.

     Again, the official Rails app isn't good, but I'd be very surprised if this is operationally anywhere close to optimal for the small-to-medium scale. If you build for Twitter-scale, you will make decisions that will almost certainly hurt small scale.

     And Clojure relies *heavily* on the GC. Using it is not a good way to build low memory JVM servers.
