Ask HN: How do you simulate a flash crowd traffic to test your site before launch?
Before launching an app and making a big splash, is there a way to test a site against a fake flash crowd to see how it'll hold up?
Can the people who have asked HN community to review their apps share what the typical number of hits you received?
What kind of precautions did you take for such an occasion?
