Jumped out at me too. I did contract work for 2 years helping the API team that powers the bible app (bible.com), and they peak at over 5,000+ RPS on Sunday morning and never dropped below 2,000 RPS 24/7. Their stack was an old Kohana 2 PHP app run on about 18 physical servers at Softlayer. It boggles my mind that you would need 200 servers for this.
