One and a half year ago we were proud of 10,000 HTTP
requests/s, As of
today we're doing over 50,000 requests/s during peak.

We're still growing strong. :)
Thanks again to the entire technical team and everyone else who made
this possible on our small budget; without further software/architecture
improvements and optimizations since last year, this would not have been
possible. :)
Mark, could you please submit this (with links to whatever other
technical stuff would interest the geeks) to the Why Give? blog? I
think it answers the question marvellously. Perhaps with a
last-12-months version of that 'yearly' graph.
