Re: FIRST Choice Sunday redux
I'm not an expert on web traffic or sysadmin/IT, but I feel like 3000 connections is not a very large number to tax a single server with. If all the images were hosted externally and the only page generation processes were text-based (or even pre-generated with the only page generation and database calls during the actual ordering), I don't see why an 8-core Xeon couldn't handle it.
Even small websites on Black Friday get taxed orders of magnitude larger, and have a lot more products to navigate (more database entries and parameters).
Maybe this is a case of needing to go simpler. As in, html-based until carts are generated and CCs are taken.
