So now you've backed down from "thousands of users" to a dozen?
If you have THOUSANDS OF USERS (your words)... you should probably at least plan for 1000 concurrents, probably more (remember you have to plan for peaks, not average).
You seem to be missing this repeatedly... I'm not sure how else to present it to you. You made the claim that a decent singular server should be able to host THOUSANDS (with an S... so multiple thousands.) I'm showing you that even if it's just 1000 concurrents, you're paying a heavy cost JUST for bandwidth... forget the server. You're over your head if you think a single server is doing this shit.
I run a plex instance, I have 8gbps internet to my house. I could host probably 80-100 simultaneous streams on that bandwidth of raw blurays. My servers could not handle that load simultaneously (and they're hooked up as 40gbps internally). If bandwidth is the easy side of this equation (it is)... and your assertions are already failing... Then you're just plain wrong.
You continue to engage in bad faith strawman arguments and try to misrepresent my statements, even after I've already clarified them, so I have no interest in continuing this discussion.
I haven't bad faithed anything... You clearly don't understand how hosting a service works, in the case of "thousands of users" 1000 active is a hard lowball.
You've clarified nothing. You constantly moved goalposts and pushed random "facts" like those statements changed anything about the original premise you presented and my response to it. You started with "THOUSANDS OF USERS". Then backed down to 12 two posts later.
THOUSANDS OF USERS -> Okay so let's take a case of 1000 active users...
UH UH, I didn't say simultaneous!!! -> Good thing I only took a case of 1000 active users then... BTW we're not even looking at server costs for processing, just raw bandwidth.
Uh Uh, What about 12 users!!!!!!!! -> (we are here).
You need help dude. Nobody is coming after you. And nobody misrepresented you. You're just completely out of your depth, which is okay. But don't act like somebody is misrepresenting you, the world can read your responses.
