How much load can Parse Server on Compute Engine instance handle

The server will run singly on one instance of compute engine. What could limit it's serving capacity and how much load can a single instance (4 vCPUs and 15GB Memory) handle.

Note : I've already looked at Kubernetes and even load-balancing multiple instances but accessing the database from multiple clients is a little too complicated for me right now. So please keep in mind if you're going to suggest containerisation, that I'm a beginner.

Any and all advice is welcome. Thanks!

The serving capacity of the server depends on a number of factors, which includes the requests you receive from the clients, the additional applications running in it etc. For a 4 core CPU, as per this help center article, you will get a peak performance of 8Gb/s, which is good for a single instance. Since you are using a single parse server alone on the VM, it should work very well with the above-mentioned configuration.

A container is a tool for a developer. It contains all the dependencies and library which required to run/test a particular application in a container. The applications running in the container are easily portable.

There is this help center article which might give a precise idea of containers and its usage. While the Kubernetes Engine will help you to deploy/manage these containerized application.
