With those huge user bases for these Chinese sites how come we don't get much feedback on the web about there scaling issues and challenges?
What platforms are these massive sites built on? as they seem to dwarf the US darlings we regularly discuss on HN.
Where can I find the Chinese dev and admin forums and read via google translate?
Thx
- lkrubner 13y agoA lot of innovation seems to come out of China. I know that, at least in the world of Clojure, the fastest webserver is http-kit, which Shen Feng spent a lot of time developing: http://shenfeng.me/async-clojure-http-client.html http://shenfeng.me/async-clojure-http-client.html http://http-kit.org/600k-concurrent-connection-http-kit.html http://http-kit.org/600k-concurrent-connection-http-kit.html https://github.com/ptaoussanis/clojure-web-server-benchmarks https://github.com/ptaoussanis/clojure-web-server-benchmarks
- gbog 13y agoI believe Java, PHP and C++ are the most common platforms for sites built between 10 and 5 years ago, with the exception of Douban.com (where I work) which is Python. There is a lot of scaling issues and challenges, and some discussion about it during tech conferences. I attended a QCON in Beijing last years and half of the talks where about just that. If you have more precise question you can PM me.
