Does anyone have any stats on what constituents "running with the big boys"
in hi-end e-commerce. We are trying to get better data so we can improve
and tune capacity planning. We just got slammed on Tuesday. Within 20
minutes we were sustaining 20,000 concurrent users with peaks up to 48,000
concurrent users. This was non stop throughout the day!
Does anyone have any comparative data? Old or recent will do, but prefer
recent...any suggestions as to other sources?
Previous concurrent usage was 1300 so I rearchitected the site for 13,000
(times 10). Say I was a little off? We have another product drop in
approximately 15 days and are working to re-architect the site to plan for
minimum 250,000 concurrent users and trying to get up to 500,000.
Just moved the couch closer to the office....
