Best Practices for GeoEvent configuration to receive 1 million requests every 10 minutes

Question

Hi,

I have a project where I need to receive 1 million requests coming from field devices and then save them on feature layer. What the best way to implement this in GeoEvent to handle this number of requests. And where to store the incoming points ? is it best practice to store them on a feature class or there is another way to store them? because each hour 6 million features will be saved on the feature class .

Yes, and you may have to to get that volume if data processed.

Velocity might be a solution if using ArcGIS Online.

I send a lot of traffic to geoEvent via Rest but nothing close to 100K per second.   I would think you would be better off with a Velocity solution utilizing gRPC instead of rest for something like this--
