Traffic. Huge loads of it.


I'm not sure what "huge loads" means in this context though.

Remember when nginx was written in 2002 to solve the C10K problem?


What do you mean? What is huge to you? For me a static blog on a small vps would start to crumble at around 30 to 150 requests per second. This number is broad because the are a lot of moving parts even in this scope. This results in 2.5 million to almost 13 million page views a day. To reach numbers like that you need to get reeeeaally popular. With some planning a static website can be served billions of times a day before saturating the network stack.

So what are you talking about?


How would your static text only blog generate "huge loads" on a CDN?
