Introduction: Hi... I have this idea to start a really great and scalable website, and I am building it! So far I'm doing everything myself - coding, networking, architecture planning, everything. I haven't even gotten into the legal aspects yet....... It would be MUCH easier if I had a technical person to handle that end of the operation. I'm a good coder, but like Bill Gates at Harvard for Math, I'm not the very best. I'd like to FIND that very best person available, to handle the technical aspects. For worse or better, I don't presently know somebody who fits this bill. I've posted a bazillion ads on Craig's List, with no really qualified responses. I've put out feelers among my own network, same result. Not sure what else I can do. Shoestring budget, so it's sweat equity in the beginning. That can actually be a plus, as it forces people to focus. Any ideas about what else I can do, to attract the right person? Thanks Jason

Introduction: Is there any type of server technology that allows visitors to a website to become part of the server? Like with bittorrent, users share some of their bandwidth, so would this be possible with web servers where a person goes to a website, downloads and runs the software which makes their internet connection and cpu and hdd become part of the web server?

Introduction: Update 2: Velocity 09: John Allspaw, 10+ Deploys Per Day: Dev and Ops Cooperation at Flickr . Insightful talk. Some highlights: Change is good if you can build tools and culture to lower the risk of change. Operations and developers need to become of one mind and respect each other. An automated infrastructure is the one tool you need most. Common source control. One step build. One step deploy. Don't be a pussy, deploy. Always ship trunk. Feature flags - don't branch code, make features runtime configurable in code. Dark launch - release data paths early without UI component. Shared metrics. Adaptive feedback to prioritize important features. IRC for communication for human context. Best solutions occur when dev and op work together and trust each other. Trust is earned by helping each other solve their problems. Look at what new features imply for operations, what can go wrong, and how to recover. Provide knobs and levers to help operations. Devs should have access to production

Introduction: Robert Johnson, a director of engineering at Facebook, celebrated Facebook's monumental achievement of reaching 500 million users by sharing the scaling principles that helped reach that milestone. In case you weren't suitably impressed by the 500 million user number, Robert ratchets up the numbers game with these impressive figures: 1 million users per engineer 500 million active users 100 billion hits per day 50 billion photos 2 trillion objects cached, with hundreds of millions of requests per second 130TB of logs every day How did Facebook get to this point? People Matter Most . It's people who build and run systems. The best tools for scaling are an engineering and operations teams that can handle anything. Scale Horizontally . Handling exponentially growing traffic requires spreading load arbitrarily across many machines. Using different databases for tables like accounts and profiles only doubles capacity. This approach hurts efficiency, but

Introduction: Imagine if you will that car rental agencies rented cars like programmers are hired at many software companies... Agency : So sorry you had to wait in the reception area for an hour. Nobody knew you were coming to today. I finally found 8 people to interview before we can rent you a car. If we like you you may have to come in for another round of interviews tomorrow because our manager isn't in today. I didn't have a chance to read your application, so I'll just start with a question. What car do you drive today? Applicant : I drive a 2008 Subaru. Agency : That's a shame. We don't have a Subaru to rent you. Applicant : That's OK. Any car will do. Agency : No, we can only take on clients who know how to drive the cars we stock. We find it's safer that way. There are so many little differences between cars, we just don't want to take a chance. Applicant : I have a drivers license. I know how to drive. I've been driving all kinds of cars for 15 years, I am sure I can adapt.

Introduction: The main thrust of the Packet Pushers Show 41 episode was to reveal and ruminate over the horrors of a successful attack on RSA , which puts the whole world security complex at risk. Near the end, at about 46 minutes in, there was an excellent section on how to go about building out a low cost datacenter. Who cares? Well, someone emailed me this exact same question awhile back and I had a pretty useless response. So here's making up for that by summarizing the recommendations from the elite Packet Pushers cabal: Look at Arista and Juniper. Juniper Has a range of stackable switches, which includes some 10 gig. If your budget can stretch for it they might make a good deal on their new QFX proto-fabric product. You can't get a full sized fabric solution, but you can get a few switches together to make a two port fabric. Good solution if you are running 10 gig and only need 30 or 40 10 gig ports. Thinks Juniper would make a good deal in order to get a few re
Introduction: Here's a common situation and question from the mechanical-sympathy Google group by Avinash Agrawal on the black art of capacity planning: How to get started with sizing and capacity planning, assuming we don't know the software behavior and its completely new product to deal with? Gil Tene , Vice President of Technology and CTO & Co-Founder, wrote a very understandable and useful answer that is worth highlighting: Start with requirements. I see way too many "capacity planning" exercises that go off spending weeks measuring some irrelevant metrics about a system (like how many widgets per hour can this thing do) without knowing what they actually need it to do. There are two key sets of metrics to state here: the "how much" set and the "how bad" set: In the "How Much" part, you need to establish, based on expected business needs, Numbers for things (like connections, users, streams, transactions or messages per second) that you expect to interact with at the peak t

Introduction: Update 3 : Presentation from the NoSQL conference : slides , video 1 , video 2 . Update 2 : The folks at Hypertable would like you to know that Hypertable is now officially sponsored by Baidu , China’s Leading Search Engine. As a sponsor of Hypertable, Baidu has committed an industrious team of engineers, numerous servers, and support resources to improve the quality and development of the open source technology. Update : InfoQ interview on Hypertable Lead Discusses Hadoop and Distributed Databases . Hypertable differs from HBase in that it is a higher performance implementation of Bigtable. Skrentablog gives the heads up on Hypertable , Zvents' open-source BigTable clone. It's written in C++ and can run on top of either HDFS or KFS. Performance looks encouraging at 28M rows of data inserted at a per-node write rate of 7mb/sec .

David DeWitt writes in the Database Column that MapReduce is a major step backwards: A giant step backward in the programming paradigm for large-scale data intensive applications A sub-optimal implementation, in that it uses brute force instead of indexing Not novel at all -- it represents a specific implementation of well known techniques developed nearly 25 years ago Missing most of the features that are routinely included in current DBMS Incompatible with all of the tools DBMS users have come to depend on Listening to databasers and map reducers talk is like eavesdropping on your average family holiday mashup.

Introduction: This is a guest repost by Sriram Devadas , Engineer at Vistaprint, Web platform group. A fun and well written analogy of how to scale web applications using a familiar coffee shop as an example. No coffee was harmed during the making of this post. I own a small coffee shop. My expense is proportional to resources 100 square feet of built up area with utilities, 1 barista, 1 cup coffee maker. My shop's capacity Serves 1 customer at a time, takes 3 minutes to brew a cup of coffee, a total of 5 minutes to serve a customer. Since my barista works without breaks and the German made coffee maker never breaks down, my shop's maximum throughput = 12 customers per hour. Web server Customers walk away during peak hours. We only serve one customer at a time. There is no space to wait. I upgrade shop. My new setup is better!
