Hello, We have a product which is an online examination system. The product has been used in the past and has done well on most of the occassions. However at one of our clients site the servers failed(and it was embarissing :) ). After a lot of discussions online, we concluded that we needed to optimize our code. And we have optimized all our requests since then. Now again this next month (Starting 29th November 2010 upto say early Jan 2011) we are expecting a large number of exams being conducted through our applications. The count of students will be anywhere around 10,000 to 15,000. Per day count could go to a maximum of 3,000. We just want to be better prepared for the same. The following are our concerns:
1) http://code.google.com/support/bin/request.py?contact_type=AppEngineCPURequest What kind of resources should we ask for using the form above.? 2) How can we do some sort of server testing before we go live to our clients. (The clients are paying heavily and will not tolerate poor service) We dont mind if we have to spend some of our server costs to test the scaling of the servers. 3) Should we have multiple instances of application running as a back up ? 4) Any other advice you would give for such a situation. Please let us know anything that could be useful. Even some simple tests that you suggest or procedures we could use. This business is extremely critical to us. Any help is appreciated ..
