I just work on web stuff that people actually use. It's 2026, thousands of requests per second is nothing. You'll probably be fine even with stock apache2 and some janky php scripts.
A single gbit line will serve a 100kB page thousand times a second without issues.
Dynamically generated pages you can't easily serve at rates in excess of tens of thousands of requests per second from commodity hardware are extremely rare.
- danpalmer 9mo agoFor most web apps, bandwidth won't be the issue, it'll still be I/O bound, or maybe CPU bound.
- JasonADrury 9mo agoSure, but CPUs and I/O are so fast now that it's genuinely difficult to hit those bottlenecks unless you're doing something weird. Also, hardware these days is good enough that a CRUD web app could very well be bandwidth limited.
