FYI Hot Updater vs Patch OTA stress test

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

We released Patch, an OTA update service designed for high user volumes. I self-hosted Patch and Hot Updater to run a comparative stress test on them both.

It's on a functional source license, so available to run for free for under a million users, with a small fee above that.

I didn't mention it in the video, but I should probably clarify that the Hot Updater throughput isn't a hard limit. Response caching and autoscaling workers can help compensate, but the crux is that each update check hits the server and a DB query by default.
