Embarrassing. I built 99% of Netflix functionality locally with VLC and a subdirectory of mkv files.

Good for you. Now please aim 10,000 requests a second at your file server.

Because I don't use microservices, I don't need 10,000 requests a second to play a video file.

I think the point was 10,000 files on 10,000 different hosts, per second.
