Deft server (Java) beats Node.js and Tornado

Server just appears to be overloaded - the status code it returns for the page is 503. It also tries to load some js/css but those return empty 503s.<p>In the meantime, Google returns this article about it: <a href="http://www.infoq.com/articles/deft-loft" rel="nofollow">http://www.infoq.com/articles/deft-loft</a>

They should change to a more performant web server, maybe something like deft.

The page just says deft for me, but apparently the project is in incubator over at apache: <a href="http://incubator.apache.org/deft/" rel="nofollow">http://incubator.apache.org/deft/</a>

This would be far more interesting if Netty was in the comparison.

So, first of all this is hosted on Google App Engine -- so I don't even see how it could even provide what is claimed. The environment doesn't really support it.<p>If you want asynchronous network programming in Java or Scala, you should be using either Netty or something higher level like Finagle: <a href="http://github.com/twitter/finagle" rel="nofollow">http://github.com/twitter/finagle</a>

Awesome, look at that scale... Ohh what's that, returning 503.

This is probably the most amazing thing I've seen in a long time: <a href="http://i.imgur.com/sBMCW.png" rel="nofollow">http://i.imgur.com/sBMCW.png</a>

article doesnt open for me just a blank page with word 'deft'? is this some retard post with no content or is the server overwhelmed?

I'd assume classes of web app servers perform roughly the same. An evented server in C(++) (Nodejs) should be faster than an evented server in Java for small app code request handlers.<p>For larger app code the speed should approach the performance ratio of the VMs (V8/JVM) involved.<p>So I think this is rather uninteresting.
