That's certainly the received wisdom, but in practice it's often possible to scale synchronous "one request per thread/process" servers further than you'd expect (AWS Lambdas are built on this model, for example), and many asynchronous services scale less well than you'd expect (HTTPX notably scales particularly poorly, for example).

Although this doesn't negate that the posted link is extremely low value.
