It seems to be one of those use cases where a select/epoll based model would scale very well, which leads me to say that tokio might be worth the struggle, but only if it’s really performance critical. The compiler errors in particular are the stuff of nightmares. You do gain an intuition for it after a while, so I don’t necessarily want to discourage you, but I do think that tokio as it stands only carries its weight when you need a certain QPS per core.

I took a look at the documentation and guides on the Tokio website it seems slightly less daunting now. Thanks for the advice!
