Silk: Open-source cooperative fiber scheduler | Hacker News

A Hacker News discussion highlighted Silk, an open-source cooperative fiber scheduler for network and I/O handling.

A commenter suggested ClickHouse could gradually adopt Silk to move beyond thread-per-connection limits.

The goal is to support many more active connections with less thread overhead, especially for async writes.

If integrated, Silk could improve ClickHouse scalability for workloads mixing async INSERTs and SELECT queries.
