deviantART Reaches all Time Traffic Highs

$spyed:iconspyed: reports, February 2, 2007
Well, we fixed that bottleneck and you got the speed you requested. Site is blazing fast and the natural process continues...

... millions of new requests quickly filling up capacity.

It's really very exciting to watch. In fact it can be crippling to your day if you aren't careful checking google analytics like an ... analytical chip monk as $Moonbeam13 so ... eloquently put it.

The Raw goods:

Pageviews are defined by one user accessing one page and any contents of that page.

Hits, which are not referenced here would be different in that they would account for all raw hits to internal servers.

:bulletgreen: All time HOURLY pageview record of 1,997,429 at 1pm today (Feb. 2nd)

:bulletgreen: All time DAYTIME pageview record of 33,323,352. Although we've averaged 32,500,000 for a time since we hit that bottleneck so this one isn't exciting.

What *is* exciting is the projected 34,989,519 for today!

We expect 5% growth like this per day until the site hits its next bottleneck (that's how it always is).

There are only a couple systems we have to worry about running in to some trouble with so we're pro-actively revamping those just in case right now.

Simultaneously we are acquiring new collocation space (600 additional square feet) and ordering/assessing needed hardware, networking equipment and bandwidth.

Growth at this rate is pretty abnormal for any web property so anticipate the possibility of error as we normalize it.

Stay tuned, but in the meantime BROWSE!!

(I'm personally alpha-testing HUGE mode, 300x300, 120 thumbs. You = jealous.)
