increate nodebb/nginx request per second

Question

i configured a server with nodebb (nodejs) and nginx as a proxy. I'm populating nodebb database using a module accepted http request.

I run 100 request per time, and after ~56 second al requeste completed.

To decrease the delay, i resize the cloud server (digitalocean droplet) to 64gb ram 20cpu, but notting change. I'm a newbie with nginx and nodebb, but i think there is some limit on nginx or nodebb configuration, is it right, or is there some other issue ?

Thanks

If you're looking to decrease the delay you'll probably want to scale out horizontally to use all of the CPU cores, since NodeBB will by default listen on only one.

Take a look at the scaling docs here:

https://docs.nodebb.org/configuring/scaling/

... namely, the "clustering" bit.
