Your math is off. It's on a bell curve. We're regionally tied so we have 80,000,000 requests, 90% of which are over a 5 hour period so we can hit 5000 requests

Your math is off.
It's on a bell curve. We're regionally tied so we have 80,000,000 requests, 90% of which are over a 5 hour period so we can hit 5000 requests a second on a fun day :)
We do this on 10 servers. 4 front end, 4 back end, 2 database nodes. They are all hefty machines (FE=8xXeon,16Gb;BE=16xXeon,32Gb,DB=48xXeon,96Gb;Storage=12TiB SAN).
Our peak cluster load is about 20% (the sweet spot).
We don't need async, even if we lost half of our nodes.
