Well not coming from a servlet background, I would be tempted to do it the old fashioned way: count as you process.
If this was PHP, ASPNET or Django, I would keep a memcache key to store the current minute, and another key for a counter.
When the action you want to track occurs, check to see if the minute is the same as the current one. If it is, increment the counter and if it’s not, save the old count to database, save the new current minute and start the counter from zero.
You can extend it quite easily to track different actions by adding the action to the memcache keys.
