Hi all,

I'm looking for some guidance with Nginx. We have inherited a web-server that experiences heavy load. The server is running: Ubuntu Server 12.4, 24 Cores, 50~GB RAM.

The CPU usage during peak time is 100%. Memory is about 50%.

The client has asked that we configure Nginx to give the best user experience for the first X number of visitors while the others are 503'd. So a visitor to the website can experience good usage from start to purchase (it's a commerce site). While others who visit (over a threshold) would get 503 errors. This would ensure that, if you can get in, your experience would be nice. If you can't, 503 and try again later.

I see there are some modules that can do this with a recompile but we'd rather not go down that path at this stage. Given that http is session-less, i suppose cookies have been used to achieve this. Or based on IP address.

Any thoughts?

Hi Andrew,

I seem to be doing exactly this for a living at the moment ( especially Magento installs ), and not that many timezones away. If you want to drop me a line offlist, please do!

Steve
