I have a site with ~ 2.5M req/day running on an m3.medium instance that rarely spikes 10% cpu. NGINX is frontline server probably handling a good % of those request directly before passing others via proxy.

It’s not trivial to take advantage of that but that is also much easier to handle than QPS that are distributed across your dataset (IE Facebook or Twitter where everybody is seeing different things).
