NGINX Tuning For Best Performance

For this configuration you can use web server you like, i decided, because i work mostly with it to use nginx.

Generally, properly configured nginx can handle up to 400K to 500K requests per second (clustered), most what i saw is 50K to 80K (non-clustered) requests per second and 30% CPU load, course, this was 2 x Intel Xeon with HyperThreading enabled, but it can work without problem on slower machines.

You must understand that this config is used in testing environment and not in production so you will need to find a way to implement most of those features best possible for your servers.

#Meteor and Self-hosted Infrastructure

Meteor is an eye-opening JavaScript framework that runs on both the client and the server, giving developers a revolutionary take on software engineering. If you are not familiar with Meteor, I urge you to visit their website.

##An overview

In this brief gist, I am going to discuss the process of setting up a server (in my case, a VPS) to host Meteor applications.

My experience with Meteor has been brief, however it has not taken much demonstration for me to realise the significance of this stellar framework. Let's jump right in!
