You might be surprised what kind of limits you hit and what your invoice looks like when you actually hit 50k reqs/sec for any length of time.
Cloud platforms have bottlenecks, too. The vendors usually handle that by making it comically expensive for you to exceed a certain threshold ("financial back pressure") and/or by throttling you outright.
- stickfigure 15y agoYou might be surprised I really would be surprised. I'm pretty familiar with GAE's limits and pricing structure. Granted, 50k requests/sec is severe, but they would have to actually go out and write special billing code just to charge me more if I hit that rate. I don't see that happening.

- stickfigure 15y agoGoogle lifts these limits when you ask. It has come up numerous times on the mailing list. I think it fair to take their explanation in that document literally.
