    I analyzed every book ever mentioned on Stack Overflow. Here are the most popular ones.[^] At the bottom of the post, he writes: Right after I published {his website.com} I had a huge crowd checking out my web site. Apache couldn’t serve for more than 500 visitors at the same time, so I quickly set up Nginx and switched to it on the way. I was really surprised when real-time visitors shot up to 800 at same time. I'm just thinking. Ability to handle concurrent clients- Doesn't it depend on the server hardware config & OS capabilities to the most part? Why should Apache "have" a limitation of 500+ requests. I'm not sure I could be influenced by the Scale-up/out things of the cloud that we do today. But just 500 requests limitation for a well reputed server like Apache sounds wrong. May be he chose a mid-end h/w config for Apache.

      500 concurrent users and 500 concurrent requests are two different things.

        It sounds, that the books analyzed has nothing about Apache configuration... How to optimize apache web server for maximum concurrent connections or increase max clients in apache - Wiki[^] The conclusion is Apache can be configured to accept any number, but the real performance/amount depends on the hardware (RAM/CPU).

          It's likely because that Nginx is event based (epoll) and Apache is mainly thread based. The former can utilize the hardware more efficiently than the later in IO heavy applications ...

            As Shuqian Ying mentioned in the above comment the Apache is mainly thread based. Due to this it's actually vulnerable to Slowloris, which is a DoS attack that requires a very small amount of resources from the attacker to achieve DoS on the target.
