Thursday, November 22, 2007 at 9:05AM I have some experience with a very large OLTP system that is 7+ TB in size and performs very well for 30K+ concurrent users. It is built using Intersystems Cache based on the very old but very scalable MUMPS platform. Why don't I see more discussions about archiectures such as these in this forum? I am curious why this platform scales so much better then the typical RDBMS.

Sunday, November 18, 2007 at 10:25PM Hi, I saw an year ago that Netapp sold netcache to blu-coat, my site is a heavy NetCache user and we cached 83% of our site. We tested with Blue-coat and F5 WA and we are not getting same performce as NetCache. Any of you guys have the same issue? or somebody knows another product can handle much traffic? Thanks Rodrigo
Thursday, November 15, 2007 at 5:14AM In The Architectures You've Always Wondered About track at the Qcon conference, Second Life, eBay, Yahoo, LinkedIn and Orbitz presented how they dealt with different aspects of their applications, such as scalability. There were quite a few lessons that I learned that day that I thought were worth sharing. The details are provided below: Lessons from Yahoo, eBay, Orbitz, LinkedIn architecture

Thursday, November 8, 2007 at 9:41PM Hi, I would like feed back on a ID generator I just made. What positive and negative effects do you see with this. It's programmed in Java, but could just as easily be programmed in any other typical language. It's thread safe and does not use any synchronization. When testing it on my laptop, I was able to generate 10 million IDs within about 15 seconds, so it should be more than fast enough. Take a look at the attachment.. (had to rename it from IdGen.java to IdGen.txt to attach it) IdGen.java
Wednesday, November 7, 2007 at 10:43PM Hi all, a I run a site that after a complete redesign have gotten a lot more traffic. The site provides free flash games, so the biggest traffic share goes to serving flash files (from about 100K and up to several megabytes in size each.) I currently host the entire site on a hosting provider that have no traffic limits. But since they are very cheap (yet have served me very well all the time with at least 99,9% uptime), I don't trust them in allowing me to continue consuming more and more bandwidth. I just guess I'm going to reach some internal limit they have on day, so I'm looking into moving all the flash content over to a content delivery network of some sort. Some recent traffic stats: August: 12 GB September: 22 GB October: 55 GB November: Currently 2,3 GB pr day on average, but it's rising.. I've been looking into Amazon S3, but have not decided on anything yet. So therefor I'm asking if there are any other provides I should consider, that operates within the same price range as Amazon does (or lower)? Best regards, Christian Felde
Monday, November 5, 2007 at 5:09PM Im sure most are familiar with Facebooks 'news feed'. If not, the 'news feed' basically lists recent activity of all of your friends. I dont see how you can get this information efficiently from a DB: * Im assuming all user activity is inserted in a "actions" table. * first get a list of all your friends * then query the actions table to return recent activity where the activity belongs to someone on your friends list This can't be efficient especially considering some people have 200+ friends. So what am I missing? How do you think Facebook is implementing their "news feed". Im not asking for any specific details, just a general point in the right direction, as I cant see how they are implementing the 'news feed efficiently. Thanks.
Saturday, October 27, 2007 at 4:11AM Am I mad to consider using .Net2 and AJAX for a high-scalability application? In case you wonder why, it's the legacy of a website built on IIS and .Net 1.1, and we're looking for ways to make the content more attractive and interactive. In this case, it's a medical image library being shared by a few Wikis and online coursework for medical students ( < 15K users) and doctors ( < 150K users) But I'm worried about the performance overhead. We already have a performance problem because of personalising the content for users according to their type (student or doctor), and for doctors, their grade and speciality.
