Magento Scaling Hypotheses

Magento’s checkout throughput can increase to at least 8 times its current capacity and up to 26 times more in ideal conditions.

1. The current checkouts per hour limit for large, real-world Magento stores is 4,500
2. This limit cannot effectively be increased with more and/or better hardware
3. The improper type handling in Magento’s SQL code is the cause of the current limit
4. If one SQL query is fixed, large Magento stores can scale to a new, real-world limit of 120,000 checkouts per hour
5. For commodity hardware, this new limit might be 36,000 checkouts per hour
