Hi bruno, Thanks for insights. It would be more helpfull if you can share hardware configuration that curbly uses. I have a requirement where site should sustain traffic of 30000 hits per day, I am not able to figure out hardware estimation for it. Is there a pointer for hardware estimation for rails site?
