> “Login.gov can handle less than 30 transactions per second,” Rettig told lawmakers. “We need more than about 1,500 transactions per second.”

Even on a $2/mo VPS that's enough for image recognition in something as slow as Python. What gives?

I'm skeptical of the number that Rettig quotes. I'd like to know where he got those numbers. Also, the code that runs Login.gov is (mostly) in the public domain: https://github.com/18F/identity-idp – anybody with a $2/mo VPS could run the code and do their own load testing.

That's.. confidence making.

Consider submitting a PR to improve that functionality as a public service.
