The web was buzzing with news of The Grammy nominations and performances on Wednesday night, and Lullabot's work ensured that the latest information was available as it happened.

This was Lullabot's third year doing the nominees special, and we racked up some impressive numbers: the site peaked at serving 2,621 requests/second, and it served up pages to 275,000 unique visitors over the course of just three hours.

However, the big night when the winners are announced is coming up on February 12, 2012. Last year we had 3,346,000 unique visitors during that show, and we're expecting at least that many this time around. We're working hard to prepare the site for this major traffic, so be sure to tune in to The Grammys in February, and check out the the site anytime!
