Depends who is paying for that? Self hosted that’s not a problem, but ‘serverless’ that’s usually costly at those levels, especially for worthless traffic.

Something like 300-400 API requests per second is not a heavy load for any reasonably designed API. Something like 300-400 static files requests per seconds is less than peanuts.

Your correct. 1 billion requests per month is 380 requests per second on average which is not that high

assuming they're smeared equally across the whole month, that is. Eg if the majority of those requests kick off a job at midnight on the first of the month, it's a bit more to deal with.

it's 2.3/second not 380

How are you arriving at that number?

60 seconds per minute 60 minutes per hour 24 hours per day 30 days per month ~2.59 million seconds per month

One billion requests into 2.59 million seconds is 386 requests per second.

Or 386K requests per seconds, depending on where these billions are coming from :-)

ho it's billion, my bad ahah

It depends on a lot of factors. Generally people provision infrastructure according to its expected usage, and to overprovision is wasteful.

I see, that makes sense. And automatic provisioning can be costly in instances like ddosing.
