- chupy 11y agoEven if a single box would be capable to handle that many requests, you should never have just one box to be the main entry point to your server (failsafe). I also suspect he refers to 300k distributed across multiple datacenters.
- getsat 11y agoYes, you are correct. The 300k was total across all datacenters. 85% of that was in the US, 10% in Europe, and 5% in Asia.
- getsat 11y agoAnycast will spread incoming requests out to N physical machines, then you can do your layer 3 load balancing, then you can do your SSL termination and HTTP load balancing. We didn't use anycast, though. I suggested it to our CTO many times and it would have saved us over $5,000/mo in DNS costs, but it never got done.
