My website was on the news a couple of days ago and was doing 2200 concurrent users for a while without breaking a sweat. Cheap hardware. Server-side rendering. Multiple database calls per user to 2 different database clusters.

That doesn't say much without knowing what the site is about.

2200 concurrent users reading a static HTML page is not the same as 2200 concurrent users trying to make a plane reservation.

Which is exactly why I explained what I did, including mentioning server-side rendering (means not static HTML).
