I understand how much it is hard to handle millions of daily requests when you have a website with massive traffic like StumbleUpone, what also makes it harder is getting millions of automated requests by bots, spammers and some DOS attack, however that doesn’t justify the low performance of SU servers in the last week.
If you want to be one of the big web players like; “I wouldn’t say Google or Yahoo”, at least the social medial players like Digg or Facebook you need to have fast servers.
I n the internet sphere the hard part to get some success is to get the good idea, then spread it and eventually get the audiences, hardware problems should not be a reason to lose your audiences, especially we are living now in a days these you can easily get hundreds of servers with powerful T1 lines connected with affordable prices, even for small to medium companies.
I hope SU IT team will figure out as soon as possible how to handle the increased daily requests, and be prepared for more, keeping in mind that Facebook is having 150 000 new users daily.
