What a single node handles

Every number comes from a run on a dedicated server

Action	Response	Ceiling on one node
Open a repository	1.3 ms	17,500 per second
Open the issue list	1.9 ms	12,600 per second
Create an issue	2.8 ms	3,130 per second
Code search	26 ms	54 per second
Fetch a repository (git clone)	44 ms	123 per second
Send changes (git push)	59 ms	120 per second

Six of the twelve scenarios — the rest are in the report. These are API calls, without page rendering in the browser. Response is the median for a single person at work. The ceiling is the highest request rate at which not one request failed.

Measured on a 16-thread Intel Xeon CPU E5-2667 v4, PostgreSQL 18.6, a database of 10,000 repositories, 100,000 issues and 100,000 pull requests (247 MB).

Over the run the server handled 4,085,212 requests and returned no errors at all.
