Great post, and interesting setup - harkens to days of old, when this was simply how things were done in the first place - but one question that I have, apropos:

>.. serve more than 10k - 100k requests/second which is good enough to serve a million customers.

What is your network connectivity like for this setup? Presumably you operate in a building capable of giving you fiber, with a fixed IP, or something like that?

Gigabit fiber with static IP for about 40 EUR per month. I plan to make it redundant with a second gigabit fiber connection from a different provider but haven’t done that yet.

That is not really a rarity these days. I have symmetrical gigabit fibre with a fixed IP here in a Spanish farmhouse 45 minutes from the nearest population centre

In some countries and with some ISPs, you cannot get a fixed IP address at all, unless you register a business and prove to the ISP that you are running a business. I am guessing they will bill you accordingly then, and still have the same shoddy connectivity. I have seen shoddy connectivity with Pyür in Germany for a whole office building. Even as a business you are not immune to bad ISPs.

		I guess Spain benefits from having a former national telecom. Movistar charges me a (outrageous by local standards) €30/month for a static IP on my residential fibre
