Out of curiosity what would be a healthy RPS range? I've always assumed anything over 1000+ is acceptable.

For this application where he was getting "hundreds of requests per second" at 500M users, if he suddenly grew another 10x he would've had to start scaling horizontally instead of running on just one machine.

according to my work, anything above 10rps is fine.

For internal business apps - or even b2b tools - 10 is probably plenty. There's a lot of premature optimization around.
