Does it serve 20-40 hi resolution images and uploads per user?

  I wanted to start a discussion about how to estimate the number of requests a given server can handle per second. So when I read "x requests/s" I can put that into perspective. But it seems you think I wanted to start a dick measuring contest? If your question is genuine: I would serve images via a CDN. The above timing is for assembling a page by doing an auth check, a bunch of database queries and templating the result.

  I am not sure how to interpret this para: > In practice, we currently see peaks of above 2000 requests every single second during prime time. That is multiple billions of requests per month, or more than 10 million unique monthly visitors. And all of this before actually serving images. If I am reading that correctly, 2000r/s does not include images, and makes it unclear if $1500/month does.

    I'm pretty sure that includes images, that's why people visit the site. Prime time happens when a very popular manga gets released at around the same time every week.

  Hosting static files isn't really that hard. I used to host a website that at its best served around 1000 GB of video content in 24 hours. Of course, it wasn't the fastest without a CDN but it was just 25 €/month.
