A Summary of Scaling

Posted Tue, 01/13/2009 - 6:58pm by Christian Romano

The wealth of information on scaling is profound. Although, there was one lesson that I found to be the most interesting. This is that every web application is different. This is not to say that we cannot learn from others that have come before us, but we need to understand that every application has a wide variety of demanding requirements. This may include a special read/write mixture of database operations or an inability to effectively cache content. Because of these differences, developers must be extremely perceptive of their system. This means constant monitoring of the site's trends.

Yesterday, it had 6 hours of down time for the update from v1.03 to v1.04. This was in reaction to issues with an on and off ability to log in, occasional game log outs, extreme lag in rooms with many voice enabled players, and an abuse reporting system which kicked you from the network.
