Side note:

6 million requests per month is only 2.2 requests per second, a raspberry PI could do this (technically).

[gitanovic]

That's only true if you assume a even distribution. If you cluster them the scenario is a bit different (your conclusion might still hold anyway)

[doctor_eval]

Even if all requests were clustered into one hour per day, it’s only 54 requests per second. Pretty sure a Pi would be up to the job.

Yes, HN hit my blog on a 3b+ and that was no issue.

[SkyLinx]

Which blog out of curiosity and 3b requests in which period of time? Is your blog static? Thanks!

[ta17711771]

3b+ is a Raspberry Pi model.

[Kiro]

Technically? It can easily handle thousands of requests a second.

[stormdennis]

Would they all be spaced out evenly though?

[Moru]

If the processing time is much below a second per request, requests per second might be more interesting than to stretch it out on a month.
