We don't usually count web traffic in hits any more, because a single page could easily cause 100 hits. You could probably use pigeons to send data as quickly. 1500 hits per day is ~1 hit per minute. p > > We had some database scaling problems due to a misunderstanding of how > Amazon throttling works--at about 3,000 hits per second the traffic we were > sending to SimpleDB caused Amazon to fail every request.
