Proxy technical call quantity limitations per second/minute/hour/day

[alexchaly13]

Morning, guys! Small question: does Apigee proxy has internal technical limit for a quantity of calls per day, as example. Our proxy currently receives about 15 milllion calls per days. If it grows to 20 million, will Apigee proxy be able to handle it? And what is the limit?

Thanks!

Apigee platform's core strength is its capability to support all patterns of volume increases. 

The strength on an API platform is measured in transactions per second. Apigee platform throughput is dependent on the performance (response time) of the upstream targets, type of policies used in the request/response path of Apigee proxy, the payload size, etc. In a typical scenario of backends responding less than a second Apigee can support more than 1000 transactions per second. 

In your scenario of 20 million calls per day, if we average it out across the day its roughly 250 calls per second, this is within the supported range for traffic volume in a basic Apigee setup. (Please note, exact throughput can only be measured after we consider other factors thats listed above)
 
Hope this answers your question.

Thanks.
