What kind of content do you serve? 700 RPS is not a big number at all, for sure not enough to qualify as a DoS. I'm not surprised AWS did not take any action.

- marginalia_nu 1y agoFWIW, a HN hug of death, which fairly regularly knocks sites offline tends to peak at a few dozen RP.
- reisse 1y agoOn the other hand, I've only seen complaint letters from AWS for doing tens of thousands of RPS on rate-limited endpoints for multiple days. Even then, AWS wasn't the initiator of inquiry (it was their customer being polled), and it wasn't a "cease and desist" kind of letter, it was "please explain what you're doing and prove you're not violating our ToS".
- hsbauauvhabzb 1y agoWhy would aws care if you’re consuming one of their customers resources when the customer is the one that pays?
