- sstrudeau 17y agoRight. Though, to argue with the article's title -- while a straightforward addition of more memcached nodes did not solve their capacity problem, the strategy of replicating nodes & load balancing read requests between them appears to be a solution to this particular capacity problem; so more machines = more capacity, so long as they are organized appropriately.
- lucifer 17y agoActually if you rewrite the equation you can see that: more capacity != more machines more capacity = more machines + load distribution strategy
- brown9-2 17y agoI'm not very familiar with memcached - is replication and load balancing built-in, or something facebook added on themselves?
