Even for dynamic content, VPS can push through stuff. I can hit a page that's generated dynamically at about 170 requests per second. On my $30 a month VPS. For a page requiring database access, I can run about 40 per second... with the DB running on the same VPS.

Frankly, this is pretty embarrassing for google.



But you can ask for more and you'll get it. Is it embarrassing for EC2 that their initial cap is at 20 nodes?


Since their goal is to have as many resources as you need, then yes I think it is.


I don't remember seeing "infinite" in any marketing material. I'm not trying to be snarky... I think both Google and Amazon are upfront about this.
