2. I remembered the China WeiBo has a way higher TPS record then Twitter. I wonder what there stack are.
Now, 200-300 RPS were pretty low on RoR. But even with modern Ruby, reactive or event based, latest optimization and workaround etc. I dont think it can even scale to what they have achieved with JVM.
Most sites won't even get 200 reqs per second total, and it's great to know that rails can pump that out on a single machine for a non-trivial app.
200 * 60 = 12,000 reqs per minute
12,000 * 60 = 720,000 reqs per hour
720,000 * 24 = 17,280,000 per day
At 200 RPS Peak you are very likely only getting 1M per day instead of 17M.
