I sometimes get frustrated with SQL Server. It’s a tricky and challenging product to work with and some days I feel like I’ve only scratched the surface.

But sometimes I’m really impressed with what it can do. It really is a good (if expensive) product.

With the increase in online learning, last week we broke a record for a single SQL Server. 254,000 batch requests per second! That’s the first time we’ve pushed it above the quarter million mark.

(The screen shot was from a day earlier, but you get the idea)

I’d like to hear from others that have reached these kinds of numbers in prod to talk about their experiences. Find me on twitter (@MJSwart).

I’ll be presenting to the Ohio North User Group this February 2nd called How High Can We Scale SQL Server? Feel free to sign up!
I have fond memories of presenting to folks in Cleveland. Why they host their SQL Saturday’s in February is still a mystery. And so I’m glad to present virtually this February to keep up my streak.
