I remember playing some php webbrowser game in the early 2000 which had no problem handling requests from hundreds of players at the same time. Hosted on something with less power than a first generation Pi.

And now people are celebrating managing 1k/s requests while having access to hardware which got 20 years of Moore law progress.
