- manigandham 9y agoThey claim in the article to have 100GB of text data. Let's bump that up 2 magnitudes for all text and metadata ever (outside of media files) and you can still run the entire thing on a single rack of servers and meet any performance needs. Many industries and applications are leagues ahead in both data size and speed - this isn't an example of such.
- seanp2k2 9y ago100GB...let me go find the largest MicroSD card in my house to put that on. That would actually be a good fit, since it'd work in an rPi3 which could likely serve their data publishing needs (assuming only a few updates to articles per second..not mentioned in the article, but I'd be surprised if there's more than that given the data sources) vs what they've done. Honestly, what kind of RPS are they talking here? Requests per minute, if that, seems like.
