Awesome to see you answering here! It's obvious that your little experiment has had the honour to be hammered many times by thousands of people, so I'm curious to hear your experience.

Has it been running on a single node all these times? What are the hardware specs? How many requests per second did it handle? Has it gone down because of the load? What was the bottleneck (network, cpu io)? How did it fail (crash, slowness, fire ;-)? Do you have monitoring data to show? How many twitter-like active users would it be able to serve from that single node?

Thanks, and Blërg! :-)
