Social media org like Linkedin is hardly comparable with SO style KB the R/W workloads are much higher with Social media, than a KB where vast majority of the transactions can be cached, Wikipedia would be a better comparison to SO.
Also Linkedin is 100x the size in users : 1B vs just around ~15M for StackOverflow.
- ksec 3y agoThere are 1B user on LinkedIn ? WOAH ! All of a sudden the scale makes much more sense although I will have to fact check this because the number seems absurdly high for a professional platform.
- manquer 3y agoHere you go, they hit 1B milestone last month https://news.yahoo.com/linkedin-now-1b-users-turns-125845570.html https://news.yahoo.com/linkedin-now-1b-users-turns-125845570...
- ksec 3y agoThanks. Considering Facebook only has 3B user worldwide. I say a social media platform with 1B user is extremely impressive.
- manquer 3y agoDAU/MAU is the more accurate metric to track by. Not as many people would log in to linkedin everyday also people create a profile and never log in again or only login when they are looking actively for a new job. Facebook itself has been having significant loss of engagement in recent years. Instagram and WhatsApp are far more likely to have higher DAU than FB main app.
- Too 3y agoQuick math: 10000 users per machine? Not considering that 90% of all users are likely sleepy accounts.
