Wow, that are really high requirements. Stackoverflow was able to operate on a lot less servers in 2016, they had e.g. only 4 database servers.

Is there any analysis why parler did have such high requirements? Or what they did exactly to have such a high bandwidth?



Quoting from https://www.courtlistener.com/docket/29095511/23/parler-llc-...

"Immediately before AWS shut down all online services, Parler had over 15 million accounts and approximately 1 million new downloads of its app per day."

My interpretation is that they didn't have the time or the staff to fix the scalability bottlenecks in the site.
