In light of the threads lately about how well StackOverflow does with their MS stack, I'm wondering how their traffic compares to Reddit, which runs on OSS/Python + Java.
- breakupsarehard 16y agoAccording to the Quora below they're running on 112 Amazon EC2 instances. http://www.quora.com/How-many-servers-does-Reddit-have http://www.quora.com/How-many-servers-does-Reddit-have
- StavrosK 16y agoYou can't compare them directly, as SO has fewer posts per day (I assume) and the comment trees of reddit are larger and more intensive to display.
- jbellis 16y ago+ Cassandra :)
- kbd 16y agoCassandra was most of why I included "+Java" ;)
- m_myers 16y agoAs a non-employee I can't post specifics, but it's a lot less traffic.
- kbd 16y agoWell, this answers my question: http://blog.serverfault.com/post/stack-exchanges-architecture-in-bullet-points/ http://blog.serverfault.com/post/stack-exchanges-architectur... About 1/10th Reddit's traffic, but also, I would think, a much lighter usage pattern (i.e. a lot more writes on Reddit, more quickly changing pages, etc.)
