I think stackoverflow is the first high volume .net site that have gone in depth publically with how they are solving their performance issues. Microsoft should be paying them for the continued great PR
- riffraff 15y agoit's great that they share their findings and part of their code, even if I'm not a .NET dev I find the blog posts really interesting and their approach/tools inspirational. But wasn't slashdot the first high volume site sharing their solutions to performance issues?
- smiler 15y agoNotice I said .NET. You can find plenty of presentations / blogs on php performance, ruby / rails performance, python / django performance but not many on .NET - I guess simply because most high-volume sites don't use .NET
- riffraff 15y agoOops, sorry I missed it
- noselasd 15y agoI'd say it's rather because most high volume sites using .NET are more commercialized , and often run by companies that's typically not been very open about anything they do internally.
- dbattaglia 15y agoAlso StackOverflow are one of the few .Net sites hackers/devs flock to and care about. I work on a large scale .Net web app, but I don't think many hacker news readers would really care about the application itself (and, as you pointed out, my company would probably kill me if I started blogging about the internals!).
- marshray 15y agoYes, I think I remember what you were talking about. Seemed like /. was one of the first millions-of-hits-per-day site that was heavily dynamic content. All with Perl and MySql, right? I still don't really understand how they do it, but I remember feeling grateful that they were describing it openly.
- mrb 15y agoI always assumed Slashdot was pre-generating static files (every few seconds or so, at least of the main top stories) that were served to the users. Isn't that why their comment form said that your comment might not appear until a few seconds after submitting it?
- marshray 15y agoYes, but there were also profile options to modify your own view, right? So the main page seems at least partially dynamic too.

- recoiledsnake 15y agoI wish Newegg shares how they do it. The site is always extremely fast, even under heavy load and the pages seem to be all data heavy.
- benologist 15y agoMySpace had a big writeup on their transition to .NET years ago, I don't think they went into any follow up detail though.
- sunchild 15y ago.NET for all your massive downscaling needs.
