We're pushing 7 billion api calls/month through it. on two aws boxes.

So it's ~1300 RPS per EC2 instance on average? What the peak RPS and which EC2 instance type?

    julia> 7e9 / (30.4*24*60*60) / 2
    1332.5414230019496

that's about right. > 3k at peak. it's a simple POST for logging views. not a lot of data in each POST. not sure on EC2 box size. using https://github.com/extend/cowboy and pushing to a 16 server cassandra cluster.
