“Trillions of functions” is a metric that’s hard to know whether to be impressed by or not. I don’t think it’s impossible that my laptop runs “trillions of functions” every day.

But the callers on this platform are likely remote, and therefore it handles I/O as well, etc. Like I said, hard to understand whether it’s impressive or not.

I’ll assume it’s impressive.




TBH anyone using "per day" I assume is dishonest.

QPS is the standard measure, and per day is just a sly way to multiply by 86400.

If you want an average measure then report the average and peak QPS ...


I divided through, assuming sustained rate:

1T/day = 11.575M/s

I personally find 11.5M/s a lot more impressive sounding. Though another comment suggests 100k servers — for about 100/s per server.

10ms per request isn’t particularly good or bad; volume is still impressive.


servers have lots and lots of cores, you might as well divide by 64 or 128, which would set it to 1s. Overall 4req/s per core is nothing.


Servers have no parallelism?
