Yes, in terms of writes, it should have theoretically sustained about 50k concurrents or maybe 1000/sec events. That’s of course all theory. But with read replicas it should be able to sustain much more overall traffic with regards to REQs. I wonder if it could be rebuilt to use Cloudflare’s Hyperdrive with an external DB. Tried to benchmark it all, but obviously have no insight into what amount of traffic were actually hammering the relay from the web and apps. In all honesty, I think they might need a multi-relay setup and break up certain parts handled by different relays in order to support a level of traffic a centralized system like TikTok or IG would handle.

Under a single-writer ceiling how could there be any chance? This multi-relay/specialised-types would be a neat but at some point though you have to question why nostr in the first place. There's a limit to the number of nostr qualities you can sacrifice before you get to the point where you're in a worst of both worlds situation, what could have been a performant centralised architecture is held back by a bunch of nostr tech debt that isn't enabling anything nostr-like in the first place.
