Evrone at Highload++ 2021: stands, games, magic
The Californer/10209369

SAN FRANCISCO - Californer -- In 2021, Highload++ Spring was held on May 17–18 in Moscow, with a limited number of participants. Due to coronavirus restrictions, 9000 sq. meters could only accommodate 1600 people. But the exhibition turned out to be the largest in history. It had 30 company stands, and one of them was from Evrone.

We've been presenting at and attending conferences for years, and we became Highload partners back in 2020. However, due to the pandemic, some of the events that year were canceled, and some were moved online. But in 2021, we participated in full. We showed films about ourselves at the stand and gave a presentation in the main hall.

A little less briefly: When an easy way to scale service under load disappears, a high-load appears. But many services have been running on non-high-load PHP, Python, and Ruby for years, processing thousands of web requests per second, without the need to write their own PHP compiler or switch to Go from Rust. Grigory explained when exactly the turning point for Python and Ruby comes. Using examples of typical Python and Ruby projects, he showed what exactly happens after nginx, how modern application servers for these languages ​​interact with virtual machines, what web frameworks give and take away, and how all this differs in speed from the "C high-load", capable of issuing hundreds of thousands of requests per second.
