[LRUG] e-petitions site

[James Cumming]

Hi All

Newspapers this morning report that the e-petitions site crashed on launch, due to high volume (1,000 visitors a minute registering proposals) . Just wondering if it would be worth while investigating this further as to why this happened and how to avoid something like this happening in future RoR projects. 


What's the best to test a site for high volume?

Cheers
