Introduction: Film buffs will recognize Django as a classic 1966 spaghetti western that spawned hundreds of imitators. Web heads will certainly first think of Django as the classic Python based Web framework that has also spawned hundreds of imitators and has become the gold standard framework for the web. Mike Malone, who worked on Pownce, a blogging tool now owned by Six Apart, tells in this very informative EuroDjangoCon presentation how Pownce scaled using Django in the real world. I was surprised to learn how large Pounce was: hundreds of requests/sec, thousands of DB operations/sec, millions of user relationships, millions of notes, and terabytes of static data. Django has a lot of functionality in the box to help you scale, but if you want to scale large it turns out Django has some limitations and Mike tells you what these are and also provides some code to get around them. Mike's talk-although Django specific--will really help anyone creating applications on the web. There's

Introduction: Update 6: Some interesting changes from Twitter's Evan Weaver : everything in RAM now, database is a backup; peaks at 300 tweets/second; every tweet followed by average 126 people; vector cache of tweet IDs; row cache; fragment cache; page cache; keep separate caches; GC makes Ruby optimization resistant so went with Scala; Thrift and HTTP are used internally; 100s internal requests for every external request; rewrote MQ but kept interface the same; 3 queues are used to load balance requests; extensive A/B testing for backwards capability; switched to C memcached client for speed; optimize critical path; faster to get the cached results from the network memory than recompute them locally. Update 5: Twitter on Scala . A Conversation with Steve Jenson, Alex Payne, and Robey Pointer by Bill Venners.

4 0.76051295 837 high scalability-2010-06-07-Six Ways Twitter May Reach its Big Hairy Audacious Goal of One Billion Users
Introduction: Twitter has a big hairy audacious goal of reaching one billion users by 2013. Three forces stand against Twitter. The world will end in 2012 . But let's be optimistic and assume we'll make it. Next is Facebook. Currently Facebook is the user leader with over 400 million users . Will Facebook stumble or will they rocket to one billion users before Twitter? And lastly, there's Twitter's "low" starting point and "slow" growth rate. Twitter currently has 106 million registered users and adds about 300,000 new users a day. That doesn't add up to a billion in three years. Twitter needs to triple the number of registered users they add per day. How will Twitter reach its goal of over one billion users served? From recent infrastructure announcements and information gleaned at Chirp ( videos ) and other talks, it has become a little clearer how they hope to reach their billion user goal: 1) Make a Big Hairy Audacious Goal 2) Hire Lots of Quality People 3) Hug Developers and Users 4) D
5 0.7585113 166 high scalability-2007-11-27-Solving the Client Side API Scalability Problem with a Little Game Theory
Introduction: Now that the internet has become defined as a mashup over a collection of service APIs, we have a little problem: for clients using APIs is a lot like drinking beer through a straw. You never get as much beer as you want and you get a headache after. But what if I've been a good boy and deserve a bigger straw? Maybe we can use game theory to model trust relationships over a life time of interactions over many different services and then give more capabilities/beer to those who have earned them? Let's say Twitter limits me to downloading only 20 tweets at a time through their API. But I want more. I may even want to do something so radical as download all my tweets. Of course Twitter can't let everyone do that. They would be swamped serving all this traffic and service would be denied. So Twitter does that rational thing and limits API access as a means of self protection. As does Google, Yahoo, Skynet , and everyone else. But when I hit the API limit I think, but hey it

Introduction: This is a repost of the blog entry written by NuoDB's Tommy Reilly . We at NuoDB were recently given the opportunity to kick the tires on the Google Compute Engine by our friends over at Google. You can watch the entire Google Developer Live Session by clicking here . In order to access the capabilities of GCE we decided to run the same YCSB based benchmark we ran at our General Availability Launch back in January. For those of you who missed it we demonstrated running the YCSB benchmark on a 24 machine cluster running on our private cloud in the NuoDB datacenter. The salient results were 1.7 million transactions per second with sub-millisecond latencies. Public cloud environments typically mean virtualization, inconsistent network performance and potentially slow or low bandwidth disk access. It just so happens that NuoDB was designed to work well in such harsh environments (we don’t call it a cloud database for nothing). Still, the faster the CPU, network and disk t

Introduction: Surge is a conference put on by OmniTI targeting practical Scalability matters. OmniTI specializes in helping people solve their scalability problems, as is only natural, as it was founded by Theo Schlossnagle, author of the canonical Scalable Internet Architectures . Now that Surge 2011 is on the horizon, they've generously made available nearly all the videos from the Surge 2010 conference. A pattern hopefully every conference will follow (only don't wait a year please). We lose a lot of collective wisdom from events not being available online in a timely manner. In truth, nearly all the talks are on topic and are worth watching, but here are a few that seem especially relevant: Going 0 to 60: Scaling LinkedIn by Ruslan Belkin, Sr. Director of Engineering, LinkedIn.
