Introduction: This article on scaling cookie baking recipes showed up in one my key word alerts. Lots of weird things show up in alerts, but I really like cookies and the parallels were just so delicious. Scaling in the cookie baking world is: the process of multiplying your recipe by many times to produce much more dough for many more cookies. It’s the difference between making enough dough in one batch to make two dozen cookies, or 2000 cookies. Hey, pretty close to the website notion. Yet as any good cook knows any scaled up recipe must be tweaked a little as things change at scale. Let's see what else we're supposed to do (quoted from the article): Be Patient - When making large batches of cookies, the most important thing that you have to remember is not to rush. Use Fresh Ingredients - This is always an important thing to keep in mind. Don’t use as much leavening - When you’re making a large batch of cookie dough, remember to scale down the amount of baking powder that you

Introduction: Update: Nice explanation in The importance of bandwidth versus latency of how long latencies cause cascading delays in resource loading. Doloto tries to optimize how resources are loaded. Twenty new rules have been added to the original 14 rules for sizzling web performance. Part of scalability is worrying about performance too. The front-end is where 80-90% of end-user response time is spent and following these best practices improved the performance of Yahoo! properties by 25-50%. The rules are divided into server, content, cookie, JavaScript, CSS, images, and mobile categories. The new rules are: Flush the buffer early [server] Use GET for AJAX requests [server] Post-load components [content] Preload components [content] Reduce the number of DOM elements [content] Split components across domains [content] Minimize the number of iframes [content] No 404s [content] Reduce cookie size [cookie] Use cookie-free domains for components [coo

Introduction: This is a guest post from Per Buer , founder and CEO of Varnish Software , provider of Varnish Cache, an open source web application accelerator freely available at varnish-cache.org . Varnish powers a lot of really big websites worldwide. We at Varnish Software are all about speed. Varnish Cache is built for speed. It executes its policy code more or less a thousand times faster than your typical Java or PHP based application servers, mostly due to the fact that the configuration is compiled into system call free machine code. System calls require expensive context switches, stall the CPU and wreck havoc in the CPU cache so avoiding them makes the code fly. There are strong limitations on what kind of logic you can move into Varnish Cache, but the logic that you do move there will run very fast. An example is using Varnish for access control to serve access controlled content from the caching edge layer. The Varnish Paywall Who gets to access your content? In a tradi
Introduction: This a guest post by Rajkumar Iyer , a Member of Technical Staff at Aerospike. About a year ago, Aerospike embarked upon a quest to increase in-memory database performance - 1 Million TPS on a single inexpensive commodity server. NoSQL has the reputation of speed, and we saw great benefit from improving latency and throughput of cacheless architectures. At that time, we took a version of Aerospike delivering about 200K TPS, improved a few things - performance went to 500k TPS - and published the Aerospike 2.0 Community Edition. We then used kernel tuning techniques and published the recipe for how we achieved 1 M TPS on $5k of hardware. This year we continued the quest. Our goal was to achieve 1 Million database transactions per second per server; more than doubling previous performance. This compares to Cassandra’s boast of 1M TPS on over 300 servers in Google Compute Engine - at a cost of $2 million dollars per year. We achieved this without kernel tuning. This article d

Introduction: It's HighScalability Time: 1.5 Billion Pageviews : Etsy in September; 200 dedicated database servers : Tumblr Quotable Quotes: @rbranson : Datadog stays available where it counts (metrics injest) by using Cassandra, combined with an RDBMS for queries. Nice. @jmhodges : Few engineers know what modern hw is capable of, in part, because the only people that see the numbers are in orgs that had to care or die. @tinagroves : Storing the brain in the cloud might cost $38/month asserts Jim Adelius at #strataconf in talk on #bigdata and thought crimes. Why is it hard to scale a database, in layman’s terms? on Quora. Some really good answers. My answer would involve a cookie jar filled with all different kinds of cookies and a motley crew of kindergartners all trying to get cookies at the same time while keebler elves are trying to fill up the jar, all at the same time.

2 0.77057189 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

Introduction: If you've wondered why I haven't been posting lately it's because I've been on an amazing Beach's motorcycle tour of the Alps ( and , and , and , and , and , and , and , and ). My wife (Linda) and I rode two-up on a BMW 1200 GS through the alps in Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Italy, Slovenia, and Lichtenstein. The trip was more beautiful than I ever imagined. We rode challenging mountain pass after mountain pass, froze in the rain, baked in the heat, woke up on excellent Italian coffee, ate slice after slice of tasty apple strudel, drank dazzling local wines, smelled the fresh cut grass as the Swiss en masse cut hay for the winter feeding of their dairy cows, rode the amazing Munich train system, listened as cow bells tinkled like wind chimes throughout small valleys, drank water from a pure alpine spring on a blisteringly hot hike, watched local German folk dancers represent their regions, and had fun in the company of fellow riders. Magical. They say you'll ride more

Introduction: Gordon Ramsay is a world renowned chef with a surprising amount to say on software development. Well, he says it about cooking and running a restaurant, but it applies to software development too. You may have seen Gordon Ramsay on one of his many TV shows. Hell's Kitchen is a competition between chefs trying to win a dream job: head chef of their own high-end restaurant. On this show Ramsay is judge, jury, and executioner. And he chops off more than a few heads. Kitchen Nightmares is a show where Ramsay is called in by restaurant owners to help turn around their failing restaurants. On this show Ramsay is there to help. If you just watch Hell's Kitchen you will likely conclude Ramsay is one of the devil's own helpers ("ram" is the symbol of the devil and "say" means he speaks for the devil: Ramsay). Ramsay screams, yells, cusses, belittles, and throws tantrums even a 7 year old could learn from. Then he does it all over gain just for spite. In Hell's Kitchen there's no evidence a

First we encode normative rules of an idealized world in algorithms. Second those algorithms help enforce those expectations by nudging humans in to acting accordingly. A fun example is the story of Ed Bolian's Record-Breaking Drive . Ed raced from New York to L.A. at speeds of up to 158 mph, "breaking countless laws – and the previous record, by more than two hours." His approach is one that any nerd would love.

Introduction: The ever amazing slime mold is not the only way to solve complex compute problems without performing calculations. There is another: soap film . Unfortunately for soap film it isn’t nearly as photogenic as slime mold, all we get are boring looking pictures, but the underlying idea is still fascinating and ten times less spooky. As a quick introduction we’ll lean on Long Ouyang, who has really straightforward explanation of how soap film works in Approaching P=NP: Can Soap Bubbles Solve The Steiner Tree Problem In Polynomial . It’s computers, so playing the role of the motivating graph problem we have the Steiner tree problem , which Ouyang explains as: Find the minimum spanning tree for a bunch of vertices, given that you can add additional points. Soap helps solve this problem because: Soap, in water, acts a surfactant, which decreases the surface tension in water. This acts to minimize the surface energy of the liquid. This should minimize surf
