Has there been any stress testing carried out on the Cart?
Could it handle 1000 consecutive users?
Thanks
Dylan

Re: Stress testing
Hello Dylan,
I doubt any software running on a single server could handle that kind of traffic, however anything is possible with load balancing. In our internal testing we typically load test with 50 concurrent users, but our test servers are (intentionally) slow, any new server could handle a much higher number of connections. All of the users were also checking out, which isn't a 'normal' situation.
There are a million and one variables: Number of products, the number of users actually checking out, page size which could affect the connections, the users connection, etc.
