And with all that beauty, FreeBSD is not something I would [nowdays] look into as base OS for hosting my services and products. It means something, probably something about humans.
Yeah, that's quite interesting reading from them, some sort of specialized appliance really.
I'm and the average Joe around me, totally far from Netflix's task of packing bytes from disk to network. Simple 2vCPU VPS serving 4GBit without being saturated on system resource level is quite often much more than enough. Extra note - it's not even using kTLS.
Moreover, even for Netflix, noting they know FreeBSD in and out, do you think/have info on using FreeBSD as base OS beyond distribution level - running applications/services in particular?
I've quickly checked on their repos like https://github.com/Netflix/conductor and it smells like they use containers/Docker, which doesn't work on FreeBSD => I'm in very much doubts it's OS of choice for them.
