I just search for the tweet again and it state [1] "Falcon is now serving most of Shopify storefront traffic: web and API.", or is that an out of context quote?

I know that tweet, it's real, but that doesn't contradict my comment.

They indeed replaced Unicorn by Falcon in one application, but falcon is configured in "Unicorn mode" (no concurrent requests). So the gain is effectively 0.

Also note how they don't share any performance metrics, contrary to https://railsatscale.com/2023-10-23-pitchfork-impact-on-shop...
