In case you didn’t know yet, the iPhone 4 was released today for pre-order to all you lucky people enough to get an upgrade. The AT&T website has their links up around 4am this morning EST (I Believe), then the Apple store didn’t come online with their updated store until around 9am EST.
Keeping up with the HUGE spikes in traffic is not the easy. The best solution out there is to host your site on cloud servers. Even more specifically, cloud servers that automatically re-allocate resources to sites with spiking traffic. This little secret I would like to help you all with is called “scaling”, it means that server allocation will shift and open up as many resources as need be to facilitate increased traffic spikes. LIKE APPLE AND AT&T SHOULD HAVE DONE.
Perhaps AT&T and Apple’s online store could find a cloud server solution valuable for times like this. Maybe they should think about it.
So, this is a photo of me finally ordering my iPhone4. It took me 4 hours to finally get through the whole check out process. YES, I am someone that presses the refresh button 200 times and causes the site to go down. YES, I am super excited. YES, I am so going to go home and take a nap now. Thanks for reading everyone!
