- ShinyCyril 12y agoI can't speak for him, but the RSS reader I am working on at the moment is similarly split into multiple parts: * Crawler - retrieves RSS feeds and parses articles * Database server * Analyser - performs semantic analysis and various other statistical processing on posts * Propagator - pushes new posts to everyone's feed * Cacher - serves a cached copy of the user's feed * Web server Based on loads I would just add more nodes depending on what was needed.
- jsherer 12y agoPretty close :)
- thebiglebrewski 12y agoOne server (machine), 23 servers (waiters) to cater to that one servers' (machine) every needs?
- jsherer 12y agoCloser to 50/50. 50% of the servers do actual tedious work. 50% cater to users' needs.
