Markus has a short update on their PlentyOfFish Architecture. Impressive November statistics:
- 6 billion pageviews served
- 32 billion images served
- 6 million logins in one day
- IM servers handle about 30 billion pageviews
- 11 webservers (5 of which could be dropped)
- Hired first DBA in July. They currently have a handful of employees.
- All hosting/cdn costs combined are under $70k/month.
Lesson: small organization, simple architecture, on raw hardware is still plenty profitable for PlentyOfFish.
