On a cold and rainy Fall day, a day stolen from winter rather than our usual gorgeous Indian Summers, a day not even the SF Giants winning the pennant can help warm, here are some hot links to read by a digital flame:
- Using MySQL as a NoSQL - A story for exceeding 750,000 qps on a commodity server by Yoshinori Matsunobu. Wonderfully detailed post on how you can lookup a row by ID really fast if you bypass all the typical MySQL query parsing overhead.
- Minecraftwiki.net and minecraftforum.net now serve more traffic than Slashdot and Stackoverflow! 1 million pageviews and 100k uniques per day, per site; 10TB of bandwidth a month; 4+ machines running Varnish, HAProxy, PHP, MySQL, Nginx.
- Stuff the Internet Says:
- @old_sound: Somebody make me a t-shirt that says "I've read the CAP theorem and I liked it"
- : How relevant do I think the CAP theorem is? Not at all. I honestly hate conversations where anyone talks about crap.. cap, sorry.
- @humidbeing: If you hit limits of mysql, why reinvent the wheel by rolling your own solution when DBs like MS SQL and Oracle have proven scalability?
- Ayende Rahien: You saved 5 cents, and your code is not readable, congrats!
