Hello,
There has been talk that the API can only handle 200 - 300 connections at a time and it bottlenecks if it goes higher. I ask because we experienced something similar during a big ticket sale last month (hundreds of people trying to hit the website at the same time). Has anyone experienced anything similar and if so how did you compensate for it?
The first large on sale we crashed our system and, since we are part of Salt Lake County, we crashed their website because we got so many hits in a short period of time. After that, we had POP create a waiting room for our website so that we could handle large ticket sales. We can control how many people are allowed in to purchase at one time. You also need to consider how many transactions your credit card server can handle at a time.
