@ashfurrow@masto.ashfurrow.com @nolan I still think that if this operation of pushing/federating posts to followers' servers was implemented in "lightweight threads / async io" all the way through, no limit on # of concurrent transactions, it would improve the throughput dramatically all on the same machine without a hardware upgrade. Especially if it can use lock-free techniques like partitioning. But also, I've never written a line of ruby nor cloned mastodon's code, so I have no idea how much of an undertaking that would really be.
