Benchmark

- 1 Active User => 400 requests/min
- 1 Passive User => 50 requests/min

| Requests | Response Time |
|-----|-----------|
| 1 | 33.460ms |
| 10 | 45.223ms |
| 100 | 374.217ms |
| 1K | 2.698s |
| 10K | 25.457s |

Total 24,000 requests / min

Using mbtiles-server you could easily sustain 60 active users and up to 480 passive users. These tests were done on the server locally, network traffic and switches could slow down these results significantly.

WMTS

The goal of providing a WMTS enabled service is to be performance oriented and
scalable. Therefore, servers must be able to return tiles quickly. A good way to achieve
that is to use locally stored pre-rendered tiles that will not require any image
manipulation or geo-processing.
