I bet the guy who worked on toysrus and who was at the ny cf users group
last night would have some ideas on this!
btw, a round of applause and thanks to the Dinowitz family and Greg Nahrain
and others who put on the meeting last night under difficult circumstances
(tight space!). And I'm not just saying this since I won a copy of the
Fusebox book!

Ok, this is meant as no shameless plug but I read on their website:
UPS expects to receive 5 million tracking requests on their website per day
especially on their peak days (it reads something like that)
Your mission: build a Cold Fusion application for UPS that could handle such
a beating, how would you do this? Bear in mind:
1) You will have to search through a database of approximately 245 million
records (packages delivered)
2) 5 million per day equals 60 per second, transactional integrity has to be
TIGHT!
3) Money is no real object (UPS needs this to work some how, but be
realistic in terms of "what you get is what you pay for")
Who's up for this?
