Case Study: HNbyAI: Handling 450,000 requests / hour with $1 DOrch Cloud Hosting
Published: January 30, 2025: 05:50pmHNbyAI takes top HackerNews discussions, then narrates them in paragraphs 📝 using AI. To conclude, it injects a question that playfully challenges the intelligence of the participants 🙃 This project is powered by $1 container cloud hosting at DOrch. It runs on 128 MHz of AMD EPYC CPU and 256 MB of RAM. It comfortably handles 450,000 requests / hour
HNbyAI is a project from DOrch, meant to demonstrate (1) the robustness of our product infrastructure; and (2) how much could be done with little container resources on DOrch.
Of course, depending on the complexity and how well your product is optimized, you may not be able to achieve the 450,000 requests / hour mark with the same resources, but still, HNbyAI demonstrates how much you could do with DOrch.
