Capacity Scenario: You run a web site that receives 1 million page views per day at its peak. The web site receives a sudden spike of traffic to triple its usual number of requests per minute. How would you handle this situation? Include steps you would take to analyze the influx of traffic and whether and how you would scale the web site to handle the traffic (e.g. add web servers). If you determine that the traffic increase is not legitimate (a DDOS attack, a runaway script hitting your site, etc.), how would you mitigate the traffic? Specify any assumptions you make about your stack and architecture.
