Ask HN: How many transactions per second is a lot?
1 point by Brystephor on May 15, 2021 | hide | past | favorite | 1 comment
Is there generally accepted thresholds for how many transactions per second is a lot? Is 100 TPS much? Is 1000 TPS much? And does the software/service processing affect the quantities for a high TPS?


I would think it depends largely on what the transaction involves? Atomically incrementing a counter in a local database is much, much simpler than executing a credit card purchase with currency conversion.
