No, I think looking at Facebook's numbers, figuring roughly 2 pageviews/server, and then looking at reddits numbers (at roughly 10 pageviews/server) and saying "reddit's setup seems reasonable" makes it a good comparison. It's all just hand waving, but I don't mind using that comparison to put reddit's numbers in perspective.
- invisible 16y agoAll of the math is just wacky in the post though - he's comparing peak pageviews/sec/server to Facebook's pageviews/sec/server for a month. Reddit's pageviews/sec/server is 2 using 163 pageviews/sec and 80 servers. Facebook also doesn't count all webserver HITS as pageviews, whereas most of Reddit's do count. Beyond that, pageviews for Facebook may eat more resources (CPU/RAM) than Reddit on average due to photo uploading and other misc. things on Facebook. This means a server is working harder at 2pageviews/sec/server for Facebook.
