Introduction: You may have noticed something is a little a different when visiting HighScalability today: We've Moved! HighScalability.com has switched hosting services to Squarespace.com. House warming gifts are completely unnecessary. Thanks for the thought though. It's been a long long long process. Importing a largish Drupal site to Wordpress and then into Squarespace is a bit like dental work without the happy juice, but the results are worth it. While the site is missing a few features I think it looks nicer, feels faster, and I'm betting it will be more scalable and more reliable. All good things. I'll explain more about the move later in this post, but there's some admistrivia that needs to be handled to make the move complete: If you have a user account and have posted on HighScalability before then you have a user account, but since I don't know your passwords I had to make new passwords up for you. So please contact me and I'll give you your password so you can login and change it.

Introduction: OK, I know this site is for scalable web site design. But as there aren't any sites I can find for graceful failure under "slashdotted" like pressure I'll ask here. Does anyone have a sensible way, once you have a "web application" that either won't scale, or can't scale, that you can give some users a good consistent experience and bounce other users to a busy site page. I have seen sites do this to varying degrees, some of which work better than others, but no explanations beyond simply bouncing requests to a "we're busy page server" when you have more than a given number of connections. This is obviously useless as a web page likely requires multiple connection (ignoring keep-alive, pipelining etc) multiple connection to completely render properly. The normal problem is users getting a page and not the "furniture" for that page like images or css. Other problems are having to wait ages to get the busy page or the site being slow even if you do "get in". And some site let

1 0.96697259 1029 high scalability-2011-04-25-The Big List of Articles on the Amazon Outage
Introduction: Please see The Updated Big List Of Articles On The Amazon Outage for a new improved list. So many great articles have been written on the Amazon Outage. Some aim at being helpful, some chastise developers for being so stupid, some chastise Amazon for being so incompetent, some talk about the pain they and their companies have experienced, and some even predict the downfall of the cloud. Still others say we have seen a sea change in future of the cloud, a prediction that's hard to disagree with, though the shape of the change remains...cloudy. I'll try to keep this list update as more information comes out. There will be a lot for developers to consider going forward. If there's a resource you think should be added, just let me know.

2 0.95680517 1033 high scalability-2011-05-02-The Updated Big List of Articles on the Amazon Outage
Introduction: Since The Big List Of Articles On The Amazon Outage was published we've a had few updates that people might not have seen. Amazon of course released their Summary of the Amazon EC2 and Amazon RDS Service Disruption in the US East Region . Netlix shared their Lessons Learned from the AWS Outage as did Heroku ( How Heroku Survived the Amazon Outage ), Smug Mug ( How SmugMug survived the Amazonpocalypse ), and SimpleGeo ( How SimpleGeo Stayed Up During the AWS Downtime ). The curious thing from my perspective is the general lack of response to Amazon's explanation. I expected more discussion. There's been almost none that I've seen. My guess is very few people understand what Amazon was talking about enough to comment whereas almost everyone feels qualified to talk about the event itself. Lesson for crisis handlers : deep dive post-mortems that are timely, long, honestish, and highly technical are the most effective means of staunching the downward spiral of media attention.

Introduction: Update 6 : nginx_http_push_module . Turn nginx into a long-polling message queuing HTTP push server. Update 5 : In Load Balancer Update Barry describes how WordPress.com moved from Pound to Nginx and are now "regularly serving about 8-9k requests/second and about 1.2Gbit/sec through a few Nginx instances and have plenty of room to grow!". Update 4 : Nginx better than Pound for load balancing. Pound spikes at 80% CPU, Nginx uses 3% and is easier to understand and better documented. Update 3 : igvita.com combines two cool tools together for better performance in Nginx and Memcached, a 400% boost! . Update 2 : Software Project on Installing Nginx Web Server w/ PHP and SSL . Breaking away from mother Apache can be a scary proposition and this kind of getting started article really helps easy the separation. Update: Slicehost has some nice tutorials on setting up Nginx . From their website: Nginx ("engine x") is a high-performance HTTP server and reverse proxy, as wel
4 0.94977719 311 high scalability-2008-04-29-Strategy: Sample to Reduce Data Set
Introduction: Update: Arjen links to video Supporting Scalable Online Statistical Processing which shows "rather than doing complete aggregates, use statistical sampling to provide a reasonable estimate (unbiased guess) of the result." When you have a lot of data, sampling allows you to draw conclusions from a much smaller amount of data. That's why sampling is a scalability solution. If you don't have to process all your data to get the information you need then you've made the problem smaller and you'll need fewer resources and you'll get more timely results. Sampling is not useful when you need a complete list that matches a specific criteria. If you need to know the exact set of people who bought a car in the last week then sampling won't help. But, if you want to know many people bought a car then you could take a sample and then create estimate of the full data-set. The difference is you won't really know the exact car count. You'll have a confidence interval saying how confident
