Submitted for your scaling pleasure:
- That's a lot of data...CERN: ATLAS produces up to 320M bytes per second, followed by CMS with 220M Bps. Amazon Cloud Now Stores 339 Billion Objects. CERN also has an open source hardware effort.
- Domas Mituzas on why Facebook may just outlast their MySQL heritage: I feel somewhat sad that I have to put this truism out here: disks are way more cost efficient, and if used properly can be used to facilitate way more long-term products, not just real time data. Think Wikipedia without history, think comments that disappear on old posts, together with old posts, think all 404s you hit on various articles you remember from the past and want to read. Building the web that lasts is completely different task from what academia people imagine building the web is. What happens in real world if one gets 2x efficiency gain? Twice more data can be stored, twice more data intensive products can be launched.
- Quotes that are quoted because they are quotable:
- @Werner - If you have never developed anything of that scale you cannot be taken serious if you call for the reengineering of facebook's data store
- @Werner - Acaling data systems in real life has humbled me. I would not dare criticize an architecture that the holds social graphs of 750M and works
- Dwight Merriman - I'm not smart enough to do distributed joins that scale horizontally, widely, and are super fast. You have to choose something else. We have no choice but to not be relational.
