I'd still love to see some real world performance data. Enterprise sites with high load and what they are able to achieve with Nuxt e.g RPS, minimal hardware sizing. Would really help to understand whether for med-large scale sites whether a lighter framework would reap big or small rewards vs effort and the "magic" as you put it

Drawing meaningful conclusions from RPS to your framework performance is pretty much impossible I guess, since you can't isolate the effect of your framework. Nuxt, as well as other heavier frameworks are doing a lot nowadays to strip everything you don't actually use. I think frontend framework performance is very rarely a bottleneck and the real benefits of using lightweight frameworks are in ease of use, small bundle sizes, faster dev feedback loops, fewer vulnerabilities ...

I agree in general, "performance metrics" for the sake of it are kinda useless. Just would be nice to hear about the success stories and amount of traffic some nuxt sites are getting to help ease the concern about how well it handles traffic especially with a dynamic backend not just static site.

The biggest site using Nuxt is probably OpenAI which is listed in Nuxt's showcases. I guess we are talking about hundreds of millions or maybe even over a billion hits per month here 🤠

I wonder if its the main site though or something smaller/internal. I've seen plenty of case studies/icons that indicate a company use something. Amazing stuff though if it is.

Yeah that's true, sometimes these icons can be misleading... in this case Nuxt was used for the main homepage of OpenAI and looks like Next was used to create the interface for the chat.
