1M request per hour at peak? A SPA backed by rails is probably going to make at least 10 requests on page load. So in terms of actual traffic, 100k page loads during a peak hour. Assume a roughly linear peak increase/decrease and we've got roughly 1M page loads per day. 30M page loads per month. How many websites have 30M (non-unique) page loads per month? After some rough scouting on Alexa ranks, I'd put the over-under at probably 10k US sites, and 50k worldwide. Assuming Alexa has 50M sites, then 0.1% of publicly facing sites serve that much traffic. Rails is used often on private, internal sites and tooling. Those sites wouldn't come up. That would definitely skew the 0.1% number. Not making a huge argument here, I just started down that analysis path out of curiosity and figured I'd share it.
