I haven't dealt with high traffic systems but isn't a few requests per second well within the capabilities of a $5 VPS?

- NohatCoder 4y agoA $5 instance gets you something like 1 core on a slightly dated CPU. Aka approximately as much processing power as a top of the line desktop processor 15 years ago. Aka enough processing power to fill a 25 Gb/s port with TLS data (not that you have the port to go with that). A few requests per millisecond should be well within the capabilities of this instance, depending on the complexity of each request of course.
