RPS

Hi,

I have an application that occasionally experiences traffic spikes of up to 5K requests per second. I noticed in the Railway documentation that the maximum allowed per domain is 3K RPS. Is there any recommended approach to handle these traffic bursts?

On average, my app runs at less than 50 RPS, but these high-traffic spikes occur occasionally. I'm currently on the PRO plan.

At the moment, I mitigate these spikes by serving static data through Vercel using Incremental Static Regeneration (ISR), effectively cutting the request load in half. However, I'm now looking to move toward a more real-time setup by serving data directly from a Redis (cluster) instance hosted on Railway.

is this 5k requests from a single IP, or is it 5k organic requests from multiple users?
