title: How can I handle a huge number of requests to a single server?
body: <p>I am working on this personal project of mine which involves an iOS app which retrieves data (an integer value) from the server at my house daily. Right now I have a single server which can handle only about 100-120 concurrent requests per second. However, I want to scale my setup to be able to handle as many as 70-80K requests concurrently while using minimum servers as my budget is limited. Could anyone suggest some techniques for this?</p>
