This is design level discussion about web applications. How I design
application that support 1 million concurrent requests??


Lot's of load balancing, caching and a fat pipe.

But the rest depends on what's behind your webservers. Will you need database access, external systems, legacy systems? What's the nature of the data you're accessing, highly dynamic or mostly static or a mix? Will the site do personalization? Will the contents change based on the current user? Does it need to be secured?

There are so many factors that come into play, that we need more information. 1 million concurrent requests is quite enormous. Is that really the target number? Because if that's true, you'll be looking at more than 20 million concurrent users at least. What is it you're trying to do?
