Your correct. 1 billion requests per month is 380 requests per second on average which is not that high

assuming they're smeared equally across the whole month, that is. Eg if the majority of those requests kick off a job at midnight on the first of the month, it's a bit more to deal with.
it's 2.3/second not 380
How are you arriving at that number?

60 seconds per minute 60 minutes per hour 24 hours per day 30 days per month ~2.59 million seconds per month

One billion requests into 2.59 million seconds is 386 requests per second.

Or 386K requests per seconds, depending on where these billions are coming from :-)
ho it's billion, my bad ahah
