Writing millions of rows per second through a database on somewhat arbitrary cloud VMs is pretty normal. This isn’t an intrinsic disk limitation. IOPS doesn’t map that closely to write performance in many modern databases; an IOPS can carry a lot of logical writes. Storage bandwidth is the main limitation, which isn’t great with ubiquitous disaggregated storage in particular, but still sufficient for writing millions of rows per second without doing anything too special. Obviously this is somewhat dependent on the specific data model, but most rows are pretty small.
