7.5m visits per day.  What does that mean, page loads?  Stack Overflow isn&#x27;t a static website.  One page load is a lot of requests to the service.  Stack Overflow is a very dynamic site, and a lot of requests are made after you actually load the page.  I&#x27;m not sure you&#x27;re accurately characterizing the kind of load that Stack Overflow is subjected to.<p>To anyone else reading: no, your use case probably isn&#x27;t so special that the solution Stack Overflow arrived at just doesn&#x27;t work for you.
