Note superyesh was talking about 100 to 500 thousand requests per second. Your overall question stands, but the scale superyesh was talking about is very different and I am quite confident superyesh's scale is definitely in the minority.

Oops, yes, was omitting the intended "k", totally skewing the scale of infrastructure my comment was intending to describe. Very funny, ironic. Unfortunately I can no longer edit that comment.
