2M req/day are roughly 23 req/s on average. I understand there might be busier periods, however it doesn't seem to be impressive figures.

Thank you. Using days as your time unit for measuring requests over time is not useful. I'd be more interested in the req/sec numbers during peak.

even by saying the volume of request at peak time doesn't tell the whole story, we still don't know how heavy are such requests.
