#2Am I reading the ab output wrong or did you only make 40 requests and 13 of them failed?
Also there's no mention of what your test actually is?

#3I find a single dyno on Heroku does a good job too and costs $0 / month. So far the most traffic I've handled is 1,708 page views in an hour with Rails 4 (and a lot of action caching).

That's less than 1 request/second. Rails should be fine even without caching.

Complete requests: 40
Failed requests: 13

Yeah spot on, the test is useless due to the small sample size. Rounding errors could give you 5000 requests/second if you're lucky.

I came to say the same thing. Probably best to just flag this and move on. The results show most of the requests failed.

And 28 were non 2xx, which is also a failure. Probably db issues since there is no way SQLite can handle 20 concurrent connections.
