It's HighScalability Time:
- 100 Billion PVs/WeeK: Plenty of Fish; 695k TPS: Node.js & VoltDB; 131ms: Response from EC2 EU
- Quotable quotes:
- Markus Frind: Scaling is not very fun these days.
- Mike Krieger: Scaling is like replacing all components on a car while driving it at 100 mph.
- @jaykreps: We built servers that could handle 100k connections by building servers that could handle 10k connections and waiting a decade.
- @RichExperiences: Twitter alone generates more than 7 terabytes of data every day, Facebook 10 TB...
- @HectorESoto: Scalability is about building wider roads, not about building faster cars.” – Steve Swartz
- @jasongorman: Put our logic in the client and our data in the "cloud"? What does that remind me of? Micrsoft Visual Basic.
- @jasobrown: #nasa's use of AWS/cloud is quite similar to netflix. long term storage = s3, spin up pre-make (baked) amis, using VPC for extended firewall
- Netflix never used its $1 million algorithm due to engineering costs. Ease of implementation often trumps absolute measures of performance. That's keeping it simple.
