Agreed and thank you for pointing that out. I regret including my own app details as they were a distraction from the main question, I was mainly looking for other peoples' real world experiences and numbers, not help with my own app.

While reviewing IoT databases I saw a lot of discussion here and elsewhere about database performance and wanted to see some numbers. Of course, applications with different workloads will have different database needs, but it is still helpful to hear that 5000 rps were served with ABC database with XYZ hardware assuming that the majority of queries on the majority of apps are simple lookups.
