Anything that can process 1MM req/sec gets upvotes from me.

1 million requests per second is 20 times greater than the throughput in last year’s Eurovision Song Contest, which served 125 million users in Europe No, r/s != Gb/s

Not sure what the point you think you are making is here, but the Eurovision site was tested to 50,000 req/sec[1]. 50000 * 20 = 1MM
