I decided to write a similar example using dynamo:

defmodule HelloWorld do
  use Dynamo
  use Dynamo.Router

  config :server, port: 8888, acceptors: 10000, max_connections: 100000

  get "/" do
    conn.resp_body("Hello World!")
  end
end

Running the above

➜ iex -S mix
Erlang/OTP 17 [erts-6.0] [source] [64-bit] [smp:4:4] [async-threads:10] [hipe] [kernel-poll:false] [dtrace]

iex(2)> HelloWorld.run
Running HelloWorld at http://localhost:8888 with Cowboy on prod

Gave this result
