Honestly, I just find that hard to believe.
If the author wants to write another "gosh, relational databases aren't always perfect for every situation" article, get in line.
- jrockway 18y agoWell, the 13 app servers aren't bottlenecking on the 4 database servers. If the database was the problem, you wouldn't need 13 app servers.
- ericb 18y agoYeah, but as stated elsewhere, image generation is CPU intensive and there's no indication what drives the need for the app servers. Armchair quarterbacking is fun for the whole family. Let little johnny tell you why your app doesn't scale!
