A $5 vps can handle around 15k req/s with a normal setup (you then hit the limit of what a webserver can serve, maybe up to 35k but then it's really over). Min

Mind you, at that point you serve more requests slower, before that you don't even notice a latency increase.
- ksec 1y agoYeah I was thinking of being limited by the pipe of 100mbps rather than CPU. But I just checked on Linode and DO turns out those low cost VPS no longer has this limitations. I guess I need to update my mental model. Just shows again we really don't need CDN for most things. Just keep it simple.
