- m_mueller 10y agoThat's what I expected. Yes, when you actually need on the order of 100k req/s, doing this over 100 vps or even 10 dedicated doesn't look that good over just 2-3 boxes in your own datacenter. That is, if you already have one. On the other hand even Netflix has moved on to Amazon, so there must be something to it.
