Instagram is a free photo sharing and social networking service for your iPhone that has been an instant success. Growing to 14 million users in just over a year, they reached 150 million photos in August while amassing several terabytes of photos, and they did this with just 3 Instaneers, all on the Amazon stack. The Instagram team has written up what can be considered the canonical description of an early stage startup in this era: What Powers Instagram: Hundreds of Instances, Dozens of Techn

Toy solutions solving Twitter’s “problems” are a favorite scalability trope. Everybody has this idea that Twitter is easy. With a little architectural hand waving we have a scalable Twitter, just that simple. Well, it’s not that simple as Raffi Krikorian, VP of Engineering at Twitter, describes in his superb and very detailed presentation on Timelines at Scale. If you want to know how Twitter works - then start here. It happened gradually so you may have missed it, but Twitter has grown up. It

Update: Flickr hits 2 Billion photos served. That's a lot of hamburgers. Flickr is both my favorite bird and the web's leading photo sharing site. Flickr has an amazing challenge, they must handle a vast sea of ever expanding new content, ever increasing legions of users, and a constant stream of new features, all while providing excellent performance. How do they do it? Site: http://www.flickr.com Information Sources Flickr and PHP (an early document) Capacity Planning for LAMP Fede

Run web applications on AWS Lambda

Lambda is an excellent option for deploying lower-traffic web services when you don't want to maintain another server and you want easy access to all of AWS's other services. In this article, Godwin Ekuma shows us step-by-step how to deploy our Rails apps to AWS Lambda.

This page describes the lifecycle of a Pod. Pods follow a defined lifecycle, starting in the Pending phase, moving through Running if at least one of its primary containers starts OK, and then through either the Succeeded or Failed phases depending on whether any container in the Pod terminated in failure. Like individual application containers, Pods are considered to be relatively ephemeral (rather than durable) entities. Pods are created, assigned a unique ID (UID), and scheduled to run on nodes where they remain until termination (according to restart policy) or deletion.

SkyPilot uses the venerable SQLite for state management. SQLite can handle millions of QPS, and terabytes of data. However, our efforts to scale our Managed Jobs feature ran up against the one downfall of SQLite: many concurrent writers. Since SkyPilot typically runs as a CLI on your laptop, we wanted to stick with SQLite, so we decided to figure out how we can make it work. We were very surprised with some of our findings.
