What it will handle
What the specification above is worth in practice, sized against real workloads.
- Requests a second

-
Estimate
- At 8 ms of processor time per request across 4 cores, with nothing else on the silicon.
- Monthly transfer
-
162 TB
-
Calculated
- A 500 Mbit port sending flat out for thirty days. A ceiling, not a quota — nobody is asked to reach it.
- Application workers

Estimate
- At 512 MB each, from 32 GB with a gigabyte held back for the system.
A sensible choice for
