undefined | Better HN

I love watching people use "x per month" as some sort of architecture selection argument, especially when these arguments conclude in a proud justification of cloud sprawl.

There are single node/CPU solutions that can process 10-100 million business events per second. I am almost certain that no one logged into HN right now has a realistic business case on their plate that would ever come close to exceeding that capacity.

E.g.: https://lmax-exchange.github.io/disruptor/disruptor.html

This stuff isn't that hard to do either. It's just different.

Then replace business with the problem you're trying to solve, the good you're trying to do for your users, etc. Keeping the big picture in view doesn't have to mean you're only interested in making money.

I'm not criticising making money. Just s/business//g and it reads better.
