Embarrassing. I built 99% of Netflix functionality locally with VLC and a subdirectory of mkv files.

Good for you. Now please aim 10,000 requests a second at your file server.

Because I don't use microservices, I don't need 10,000 requests a second to play a video file.

I think the point was 10,000 files on 10,000 different hosts, per second.

Well, if they’re only watching one second of video that’s easy. The files could be super small too.

Okay, I can’t keep this up. I was parodying the position not being serious.
