Pingomatic.com

Pingomatic.com by photomatt.
Requests per second to the RPC part of pingomatic, this doesn't count the core website. When you add in the regular website hits and the API hits, it comes to well above 8.6 million hits per day. On one box.

I had forgotten to look at this for the past few months, kinda surprised me.

Also since this is just for the RPC system it doesn't include images, CSS files, or any things that usually drive "hits" high. Every request is a ping that requires several DB queries and contacting 12+ services downstream.

Running a system like that must be expensive. I thought a Digg/Slashdotting was bad.

Matt loves one box for development ;) Apparently they are looking at replicating the service to multiple boxes.

Nothing special, I think it's a 2.8ghz with 2gb of ram. The new box is a lot more powerful.
