Re: faster product time-to-market of 5,000 per cent
3 transactions per second at peak is obviously a typo. There is (very roughly) 100 million seconds in a year, so if they did an average of 3 transactions per second all year, to reach their £1.6b of sales every ticket would cost on average £16 which sounds about right but these are all averages, and we all know demand will be very spikey, so there is probably at least a couple of zeros missing from that TPS rate.
And that's if 'transactions' refers to financial transactions. It could be the number of database transactions.
