That's a really naive view of how hits are distributed over time.
- majewsky 6y agoEven if rush hour has 10 times more traffic than off hours, that's still only 4 requests per second. Any unoptimized Postgres on a 2/2 node should be able to handle these loads just fine.
- marcosdumay 6y agoThat's the average. Of course, hits are not homogeneously distributed. But an average of less than one hit a second leaves more than enough leeway for any reasonable clustering you may come with. Any small computer can handle thousands of times more than that. There is some questions about bandwidth costs, that can vary wildly.
