Serving a half billion requests per day with Rust and CGI

jacob.gold/posts/serving-half-

Jake Gold · Serving a half billion requests per day with Rust + CGIIn my previous post Serving 200 million requests per day with a cgi-bin, I did some quick performance testing of CGI using a program written in Go. Go works excellently for CGI programs, for many of the same reasons it works so well for CLI programs and system daemons. But, out of curiosity, I decided to do a bit more CGI testing with other languages. CGI is good technology, actually There’s a misconception that because CGI is old or because many CGI scripts had security vulnerabilities, CGI itself is somehow insecure or bad.

@maikel basically, it boils down to the few key features of #Monero:

1. #Anonymity & #Privacy: Unlike with any other #cryptocurrency (aka. #Shitcoins) it's not just pseudonymous in that there is no mandatory linkage between individuals & their wallets, but the entire transaction history and balance is hidden. Unlike say #Bitcoin or #Ethereum one cannot track the coins from the moment of mining to their destination.

2. Speed: Monero's network does mine one block every 2 minutes. After 10 blocks any transfered balance gets unlocked for spending. That means that a transfer is completed at worst within 6 minutes and the balance is being unlocked at worst after 24 minutes. This makes it faster than Instant-#SEPA which only has a 1 hour SLA.

3. #Fungibility: Like #cash all it's coins are equal, since they cannot be tracked. This makes Monero the digital equivalent of cash.

4. #Scalability & #Stability: Monero adaptively self-adjusts block sizes and mining difficulty based upon demand (transactions in it's mempool aka. requested transactions that have to be added to the blockchain) and supply (total blockchain hashrate). Unlike Bitcoin and Ethereum it has a fixed Tail Emission Rate of at least 0,6 #XMR (Monero) per block, so the miners solving it get at least 0,6 XMR (+ transaction fees), which is a longterm stable rate. Bitcoin and Ethereum will necessitate huge transfer fees once their last coins are mined to make sense, which will result in the crash of said cryptocurrencies as they'll be too expensive to trade!

5. Anti-#ASIC and focussed on #CPU|s of general-purpose machines: Whilst it does run on #ProofOfWork, it's specifically designed to run poorly on #GPU|s and not on #ASICs as the latter one are not just manufactured #eWaste but also inherently increase the centralization (with less than a dozen big miners controlling >50% of Bitcoin and Ethereum's hashrate respectably). Thus it's the "least worst" in that regard. #ProofOfStake is not possible due to it's privacy-based setup (#Staking necessitates a public balance) and unlike a #Shitcoin like #FileCoin it doesn't incentivize #hoarding components. (in this case: #HDD|s)

6. Accepted & Convertable: Whilst there is a concerted effort to ban Monero, there are payment processors like #NowPayments that accept Monero. It's low transaction fees and good speed make it useable in settings like Restaurants and Online Stores (sadly not retail, because it would need to be like 60x faster)... And even then it's easy to convert to/from Shitcoins.

That's the #TLDW of Whiteboard Crypto, Mental Outlaw and The Hated One…

And finally:

7. Monero gets continously developed and enhanced, whereas Bitcoin, #Litecoin and Ethereum don't even do proper #upgrades via #HardForks (see #EthereumClassic)...

Serving 200M requests per day with a CGI-bin

Jake Gold · Serving 200 million requests per day with a cgi-binIn the early 2000s, we used to write a lot of CGI programs. This was the primary way to make websites dynamic at the time. These CGI programs were usually written in Perl, but sometimes in C or other languages to increase performance. The CGI mechanism is conceptually simple but powerful. When the web server receives an incoming request for a CGI script (e.g. /~jakegold/cgi-bin/guestbook.cgi), it: Sets up environment variables containing request metadata (HTTP headers, query parameters, request method, etc.) Spawns a new process to execute the CGI program Passes the request body (if any) to the program via stdin Captures the program’s stdout as the HTTP response Sends any error output from stderr to the error log The CGI program reads the environment variables to understand the request, processes it, and writes an HTTP response to stdout, starting with headers.

AI Groundwork == Automation.
Automate or Fossilize.

There's a delightful little study from McKinsey - they say automation boosts productivity by ~40%, slashes costs by ~50%.
But sure, keep doing your 17-step manual deployment and team standups to plan the next team standup.

Companies keep adding more agility, more process, more micromanagement, more Team Members.
Like rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic, but with Jira tickets.
All in a glorious effort… Not to solve root causes.

Here’s the raw truth:
If your competitor automates first,
lowers prices,
scales like a virus on caffeine…
You're toast. Gluten-free if that makes you feel better.

You can't catch up.
Not when your developers are duct-taping new features onto a legacy monolith that’s older than half your interns.
You don't need more meetings.
You need fewer humans doing robotic work, and more humans solving human problems.

Let's make one thing painfully clear:
Automation isn't optional. It's not a feature, it's the operating system of survival.

You can't do anything wrong by starting automation.
You can only oversleep, drool on your quarterly reports, and wake up with a competitor eating your market share like cold pizza at 3 AM.

I've automated entire teams in the past.
Poof. Gone.
Their tasks now done better, faster, without needing coffee, motivation, or "mental health days".
Deploy with a button?
Yes. It exists.
You're welcome.

Automation reduced our tech stack. Fewer tools, fewer errors, fewer prayers to the CI/CD gods.

Now ask yourself:
What does your company really sell?
Disney sells memories.
Apple sells innovation.
Nike sells ambition.
Amazon sells comfort.

And you?
Random metrics? Profit graphs?
A slowly dying system wrapped in buzzwords?

Automate.
Not for the "Future".
For next quarter.
Or don't.
Just make peace with your fate as a beautifully inefficient relic.

What does it have to do with AI? Well, you need free resources to include AI into your company and not just add it somewhere.
