40k visitors per month isn't one per minute. It's anywhere from one per minute to 40k per second. Division of requests by time is the worst possible mistake in calculating load.
- buro9 10y agoPlus visitors != requests. I have 200k visitors per month generating 8m page views and about 50m hits on the servers (with CDNs taking another few hundred million hits). These all peak during the UK weekdays and wind down at nights and weekends. Divisions over time aren't going to work, but neither is translating visitors into requests, especially as it's only the page views that have a beyond trivial computation cost.
- joeblau 10y agoYeah, I just checked Cloudlfare and here are the requests Total Requests Last Month 622,482
- elsurudo 10y agoWhile you overall point is correct, it's still likely not going to be a lot. It's highly unlikely that it's 40k per second.
- Svenskunganka 10y agoThank you for the correction, but that was not the point I was trying to make. I was referring to his statement: > [...] before switching to Docker (even though I do love Docker). This seems like a very drastic solution to problems he does not yet have. I've been responsible for similar thoughts before, but shortly after realized just how damn stupid I was.
