Lets say you have a site that is serving, oh, around 100k unique visitors a day (plain ole' browser requests) - plus probably ~ 40k uniques to feeds. Assume this site is 90% read like most of the web, so the traffic looks like your typical news or portal site. There are two web boxes behind a hardware load balancer, each doing apache 2.2.3 -> mongrel_proxy_balancer -> mongrel clusters. One db machine, but that shouldn't be stressed at all due to heavy caching of the content.
Where to being with performance testing something like this? How many mongrels per web box to start with? Any comparable sites in production to compare it to (Ezra?) thanks, - Rob _______________________________________________ Mongrel-users mailing list Mongrel-users@rubyforge.org http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/mongrel-users
