I am working on an application that have to handle over 2 million requests per day. If I have 3 Stargate apps (rest api) run on 3 different servers connect to data center with 4 nodes of Cassandra database. Do you think Stargate can handle that volume?
Can Stargate handle high traffic?

Some quick math, 2 million requests per day comes out to roughly 23 requests per second. I've seen the Stargate REST API handle ~25k op/s in a 3 Stargate and 6 Cassandra cluster with virtually no tuning (testing performed with nosqlbench. So I believe it should be able to handle your workload.
Stargate performance will depend on multiple factors like resources allocated, workload, and as Erick mentions above the throughput of your backing cluster.
Yes, Stargate can handle high traffic.
Stargate isn't going to be the bottleneck since it's really just another client. What matters is the throughput of your cluster.
You need to size your cluster to handle the throughput you require. For example, if your 4-node cluster can handle 100K operations per second but your app requires 200K ops/s then you need to double the number of nodes in your cluster. Cheers!
