How many requests per second can JSON-RPC handle?

Question

I’m writing a web-app for accessing MultiChain node and want to know how many requests per second does JSON-RPC support? Trying to count how many nodes will I need on highload.

Answer 1

It depends very much on what these API calls are doing. For very basic API requests which don't modify node state, such as getinfo, we've seen rates of around 5000 calls/second.
