I'm not sure 1 million page

Comment:

I'm not sure 1 million page views per day requires a load balancer (though it's always good to have the setup sooner rather than later)... But very cool! I'm excited to try this service myself. Though I guess what I said is exactly the opposite of the service too. With this service, you don't need to have an LB "sooner than later" because you can implement it quickly. I'd like to hear from people who had to set one up in an emergency situation.
