How many pods handled 500 RPS?

It is impossible to accurately answer how many pods are needed to handle 500 RPS without additional context, as it depends on many factors:

• The capacity and configuration of each pod (CPU, memory).
• Application optimization and its ability to process requests.
• Network latency and bandwidth.
• Load profile (e.g., uniform distribution or peaks).

Typically, load testing is conducted to measure how many RPS a single pod can handle, and then the required number of pods is calculated. For example, if one pod consistently handles 100 RPS, then approximately 5 pods are needed for 500 RPS.
