Firehose API's total load rate?
Hey, I was just curious -- when the Firehose API comes out, what's a ballpark figure for the rate of messages-per-second of all public tweets? Thanks, Brendan anyall.org
Re: Firehose API's total load rate?
It fluctuates depending on time of day, breaking news, etc., but expect a baseline of 20 - 40 messages per second.

Brendan, we've designed our server for processing >500 msgs per sec during a spike Event. I'm not sure if twitter spikes that high now, but it will. I'm also unsure if the firehose will deliver that volume.

We've designed the firehose solution to handle that volume and much, much higher.

Alex, Then I'm glad I've tested to 5,000 msgs per sec
