That's only ~60 QPS, assume it is peaky and hits something more like 1000 QPS in peak minutes, but also assume most of the hits are the front page which contains so little information it would fit literally in the registers of a modern x86-64 CPU.

Even a heavyweight and badly written web server can hit 100 QPS per core, and cores are a dime a dozen these days, and storage devices that can hit a million ops per second don't cost anything anymore, either.
