- meh01 14y agoI don't know if this is heretical to say, but when I think about services that people should look up to in terms of architecture, I don't think of Netflix. See all the downtime they have despite the 1000 posts on their blog about how wonderfully available their architecture is. I can point to 10 other sites running on a boring LAMP stack with similar availability.
- parasubvert 14y agoYou joined here two days ago. Please provide the list of these ten LAMP sites with similar scale and availability. Otherwise you just look like a troll account.
- tadfisher 14y agoAnd if you examine the causes of Netflix' downtime, is it because of their usage of Cassandra? Would a LAMP service running on the same AWS ELB nodes have avoided said downtime?
- linuxhansl 14y agoAs far as I know they still store all critical data in Oracle. (That is actually true for many user for NoSQL data bases, not just Cassandra or Netflix). My information is a bit dated, so that might no longer be the case.
