You deserve a HighScalability today:

  • S3: 566 Billion Objects, 370K requests/sec; Titan: 38,400-processor, 20-petaflop
  • 1,000,000 daily users and no cache. Wooga flash game with 50K DB updates/second, Ruby backend. They hit an IO wall with MySQL at 1000 DB updates/sec. They needed more so they went with Redis. Not quite honest to say no cache was used as everything is RAM, but maybe that's the point. Use a lot of automation. Inactive users are archived. Moved away from EBS. 
  • Scaling Twilio. Twilio has scaled traffic by more 100x over the past year, and expanded their server infrastructure from a few servers to 100′s running in the cloud. Core technologies: PHP, Python, Twisted/gevent, Java, Asterisk/FreeSwitch/JSR289, MySQL, and Redis. Core principles: Simplicity, Automation, Shipping, Empiricism, and Humbleness.
