In the lead up to Mother’s Day Click Frenzy 2013  I was going through my notes from last year and found some of our statistics on how the Booktopia servers performed.

I thought it would be interesting to share this with those of you who are also busy getting ready for the hopeful onslaught.

Peak requests per minute: 19 000
Average requests per minute: 10 000
Average response time: 240ms
Average database calls per minute: 100 000

Good luck to all those involved this year!
