450m page views in 1 month is only 173 requests per second. You can do that on a much cheaper box.

- acejam 9mo agoSure, you are only proving my point even further. I just happen to have a personal policy of "no boxes in prod under 16 cores". :)

- lucideer 9mo agoYou're assuming an extremely consistent traffic rate, with zero spikes....
- danpalmer 9mo agoSure, but my point is that 450m requests is just not a lot. Humans are bad at big numbers, and this number sounds like a scary amount of traffic, my point is that it is a very boring amount of traffic even on modest hardware. I personally wouldn't stick it on a single VPS because we can do way better than that in terms of reliability, but the point stands that you don't need very much in terms of resources to serve this.
