Does anyone have data/experience that indicates how many Substrate Parachains can run under one Substrate Relaychain?
I understand this will be hardware specific, so it will help if you can give some details about the environment used.
Example: 10-20 on an AWS instance type XYZ
Kusama currently has 42 parachains, while Polkadot has over 30. These are real-world deployments on decentralized validator sets. Validators are recommended to have 8-core CPUs, large SSDs, and 16GB RAM, with 500Mbps+ network connections.
In orders of magnitude, the answer is tens or hundreds.
