Lorawan Deployment Issues

Question

Hi, there are some issues with the current LoRaWAN deployment.
One client has approximately 20,000 nodes. In the environment of containers, how many 8-channel gateways would be appropriate?
Also, regarding the LoRaWAN server, without considering the limitations of hardware equipment, how many nodes can the server handle?

This is hard to tell, in general the troughput of messages is more important to look at than the number of devices. In terms of gateway throughput, also the data-rate / airtime matters.
