Now that we’re getting about 25,000 daily active users - up 20,000 from 10 day s ago - we’re beginning to experience some strains on our computing platform.  About 3% of all page views are producing an error message.  Oh joy.  We attempted to increase our computing bandwidth by adding two additional servers but all did not go well.  We’re addressing the issues right now and plan to attempt the upgrade again later this evening when traffic slows down a bit.  At the moment, we’re getting between 10 to 50 requests per second depending on the time of day.  That may not sound like a lot, but some of our requests are quite computing intensive.
