# 8000 GB Daily Traffic

#### You:
is 8000 gb daily out network alot for my app

#### ChatGPT:
It depends on the type of app, but **8,000 GB/day outbound (8 TB/day)** is already a fairly large amount of traffic for most applications.

Some rough context:

- **Small SaaS/web app** → usually a few GB/day to a few hundred GB/day
- **Growing consumer app** → hundreds of GB/day to a few TB/day
- **Video, AI, CDN-heavy, or file-sharing apps** → 8 TB/day can be normal
- **At scale** (millions of users) → 8 TB/day is modest

A better way to judge it is by:

1. **Concurrent users**
2. **Average payload size**
3. **Traffic pattern** (video/images/API)
4. **Bandwidth costs**
5. **Server/network limits**

Some quick math:

- 8 TB/day ≈ **92-95 MB/s sustained**
- That’s roughly:
  - \~760 Mbps continuous outbound
  - \~2.7 PB/month outbound

If this is mostly:

- **JSON/API traffic** → that’s huge
- **Images/media downloads** → moderate
- **Video streaming** → actually not that crazy
- **AI model responses/audio/video** → common

Example:

- 1 MB per user session
  → 8 million sessions/day
- 50 MB per session
  → 160k sessions/day

The more important question is whether it’s:

- expected,
- affordable,
- and efficiently cached/compressed.

If you want, I can also help you estimate:

- how many users that likely represents,
- expected cloud bandwidth costs,
- whether your infra can handle it,
- or whether the traffic looks suspicious/abnormal.
