Can't you fine tune linux as well? Does FreeBSD perform better somehow on a CDN workload? I find it difficult to imagine that the reason is performance. But I don't know what the reason is.
- craftkiller 1y agoNetflix discusses their reasons starting at 18:20: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=veQwkG0WdN8&t=18m20s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=veQwkG0WdN8&t=18m20s tl;dw: the performance, the efficiency of development, the community, FreeBSD is a complete operating system, the code base is smaller, the ports system, and the license. and this video covers the optimizations Netflix has made to FreeBSD: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=36qZYL5RlgY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=36qZYL5RlgY Also potentially a reason: According to drewg123, Linux's kTLS was broken. Which I see drewg123 also commenting in this thread. Is he the "Drew on my team" mentioned in the first video? Is he the speaker in the 2nd video?
