I want to create a service where users could remotely manage some services
on their computers which are behind the firewall.
Users could register their account, under their account they could register
one or more (let's say up to 20) client computers, for each of these they
could download a script which they could install on their computers and
that script would periodically contact the server (for instance every 5
seconds) and do certain things based on the response from the server. It
would be a json-based service where the server would answer something like
{"startSomeService": "False"} or {"startSomeService": "True", "param1":
"aaa", "param1" : "bbb"...}. Web interface would be just a simple list of
registered computers and their status with a few buttons for service
management. Web interface would be made using web2py and now comes the
tricky part:
I've calculated that if I find some 200 paying customers that could earn me
some basic income. Let's say those 200 users each have 20 registered
computers that would be 200x20 = 4000 json service requests within 5
seconds, so some 800 requests per second. Or let's say I somehow manage to
get 1000 users, that would be 20000 requests within 5 seconds, so around
4000 requests per second or more. These would only be json requests plus
there would be normal html requests for web interface. I am worrying if
web2py can handle this kind of traffic and what kind of hardware would I
need? I plan this to work on nginx web server + postgresql database
(properly configured and indexed). Is this a feasible solution or I need to
rethink everything over?
