How Sentry Receives 20B Events per Month While Preparing to Handle Twice That
Hate these X millions &#x2F; billions per month or year or a centuary.<p>Let’s do the math.<p>So it’s 20B&#x2F;30 = 660 m &#x2F; day<p>660 &#x2F; 24 ~= 25 m &#x2F; hour<p>25000k &#x2F; 3.6k sec = 8000 events&#x2F;sec<p>Now peaks got to be larger then these measly 8000 events.<p>Even say peak is 50k&#x2F;second.<p>Dang an Nginx can serve a web page faster then that on a single modern notebook. CPU won’t even saturate to do that.<p>Or if you were to write them to a consumer grade spinning drive disk at 100mb&#x2F;s you’d get 50k&#x2F;s if each event is 2kbytes in size.<p>As usual I’m not impressed.
