> It can handle more than 500,000 orders per month when hosted on a $6/month server

Is this a statement from the real world? What business sells 500,000 orders in a month from a $6 server? I mean, if you sell that much, you would probably want a high-availability solution and they don't sell for 6 bucks.



The message seems to be targeted at the „webscale“ folks. Something like: Look, one 6$/month server can do more than you ever need. You don‘t need {complicated stack}.

Just use two 6$/month servers.
