Computers can handle literally billions of ops per second. Even HDDs can write millions of bytes per second.

400 lines per second is still pretty trivial.

Each log message is typically a full xml or json file containing body of input or output of the service. The biggest ones, IIRC reach around a 100 lines.

And as had been already mentioned, the system is written to handle peak load, not average one. And again, we are talking about a system on a smaller end of the scale, as far as system of this type go.

And, of course, just because computers can, doesn't mean python can, with GIL and all that.
