What do you do that serves 1.2mm requests / second?
I don't disbelieve you, I'm just wondering what type of site that is since English Wikipedia is several orders of magnitude lower than that.
- FBISurveillance 9y agoAds, one of the most shitshow industries in the world.
- FBISurveillance 9y agoForgot to add a joke: you can judge from my nickname! :-)
- piva00 9y agoCan add to that, I worked for a few months in a small mobile ad network and the throughput of that was insane for the size of the company. Also a shitshow of a company on many levels.
- ericnyamu 9y ago1.2m request per sec of ads looks like adblock isnt working .
- jjeaff 9y agoGood news to me. Let everyone else keep finding all the free services. Everyone can't use adblock or nothing is free anymore.
- dhimes 9y agoSo Google built a platform that is excellent for running ad networks. It seems so obvious now.
- user5994461 9y agoAds are a super intensive workload with super low margin. It'd be more correct to say that google built a very efficient platform that can run anything. Well, anything easier than ad, so almost anything.
