Place I worked at had a service running on K8s with, I think, 4 pods, and it got on average one hit every 2-3 seconds during office hours (and virtually none outside those.)

So I'd say the number of pods was appropriate.

You might have to show me the working there because I'm failing to follow how 4 pods is appropriate for a service doing about 15k requests a day.

[hdjjhhvvhga]

15k/day is nothing, and 4 pods are almost nothing. You could probably have 2 and nothing would have changed.

Or a single 2 core server, double it up if you want HA…
