We (blocket.se) are hitting almost 1b/mo and I can assure you that it's irrelevant wether the average p/v per second can be handled by some basic hardware or not. During peak hours it's an order of magnitude difference.
Worth mentioning though that we are tightly focused in only one country, and probably have larger variations during peak hours than stack overflow does. I'm not sure what our traffic looks like combined with our other local sites.
- moe 16y agoIf your peak hours exceed average by an order of magnitude then you have oddly shaped traffic. Most sites follow a bell curve where regular peak hours range around factor 2-3 above average. Either way I didn't mean to discount their efforts. Was just trying to point out that their architecture is not very interesting from a performance point of view, yet.
