Web Server
From Open Source Ecology
- 64G RAM with 10G link handles 10000 apache requests per second [1]. This appears to handle 120k concurrent users on the wiki if they edit once per minute.
- 8GB RAM/100Mbps Bandwidth: 150 Apache Requests/Sec, 300 NGINX Requests/Sec, 500 LS Requests/Sec.
- This is a cheap home server. That can still handle 10M+ web hits per day.
- 8 Cores CPU/32GB RAM/1Gbps Bandwidth: 2000 Apache Requests/Sec, 2500 NGINX Requests/Sec, 7000 LS Requests/Sec (Minimum requirements for Shared Hosting Servers)
- This is cheap for example on Hetzner $50. 2000 requests per second still means 178M hits per 24 hrs!
- For serving, if hard drive reads 100MB/s [2] - then you can load many 20k wiki pages. 5000 of these per second. Even it has graphics, say 1MB, can serve 100 per second. Still in the range of 10M hits per day.
