Hrm. Happy to answer any questions. I work for SQLstream. (I'm not speaking officially for SQLstream at this moment, of course.) The upshot is that it's a realtime query and manipulation engine that works with standard SQL. There's a relatively simple SQL app running under SQLstream that gets the live data, does GEO IP lookup and other manipulation, and then vends it to a the webserver in 60-second chunks.
- sambeau 16y agoWhy didn't they just get the location data from the geo-load balancers?
- sabat 16y agoI don't know the intimate details of Mozilla's server configuration, but the way I understand it, these geographically disperse load balancers don't know specifics about the requester locations -- just IPs.
