Actually 150th in the US and 794th world-wide, according to Alexa: http://www.alexa.com/siteinfo/quizlet.com

Not to say 150th isn't impressive or likely a lot of traffic.. but if you're going to post a number and claim like that, it should be accurate.

Ballpark, I'd say that's between 700 and 1,000 hits/second on the main frontend. I sort of doubt either AWS or GCP is so much faster than the other for this kind of load.

They mentioned 200k/minute (just over 3k/second) in the post.
