Why a log axis

  • Volume runs from 12 thousand to 410 million requests a month — a factor of about 34,000.
  • On a linear axis the first four years would sit flat against the baseline, indistinguishable from zero.
  • Year-over-year growth eased from 11.7× to 6.4×. On a log axis a constant rate is a straight line, so that slowdown shows as the gentle bend.
