I’m a technical lead for a SaaS community forum product and we handle billions of page views a month. Many of them don’t put any load on our servers though because guest pages are cached with a short duration and the cached page gets served up.
Today that’s cloudflare but in the past it was varnish.
Otherwise it is very dynamic. Different users have access to different content so we generally can’t cache full pages at the edge for authenticated users.
