Let's see. I can handle a few million on a single instance and I have yet to hit any memory or CPU limits indicating I can handle 10x of what I'm currently handling. Oh and it's about 100k or more transactions per hour at peak load. Just from basic operational observation and logs. Also, have yet to see any durability issues and I've managed to do it without kafka. So pretty basic math says the entire thing can be scaled to a "few billion" transactions in a pretty straightforward way. Then again I'm more willing to redefine my problems to come up with simpler solutions.

But this discussion has devolved into personal insults at this point. We have nothing to teach each other it seems.
