Tens of requests a second?

A request can have a large range of queries within it so I was trying to account for that. If your requests are lightweight and mostly reads, you can do 1,000+ req/sec on a 256MB instance. YMMV.

He's being generous. Indeed, your service will be lucky if it sees tens of requests per day.

Normally I'm on the side of 'do you actually get that much traffic?' but yeah, a dashboard view can generate dozens of requests alone, each with multiple queries.
