I have been making my very first web application, and I am using PHP to develop it.
I can see my VPS being able to flawlessly handle some decent amount of requests, even though it does few SQL queries on every request
I understand this is a very small traffic, how can I measure upon this?
Do I really need similar hardware to run a website with lower volume than StackExchange, yet with a considerable amount of users?
I am basically trying to get an idea on how resource intensive can a request be, and/or how much resources does one need for a specific amount of requests or users. I have entirely no idea.
