On what hardware was that?
- themartorana 12y agoAWS, ~11 EC2 c1-medium boxes (auto scales), one db.r3.4xlarge RDS MySQL server, plus a beefy Redis server (instance size escapes me). FreeBSD 10 on the EC2 boxes, whatever Linux AWS is running on their managed service instances. Nginx backed by Python and Go servers. Plus a smattering of other services like ELBs, etc. I can't imagine having something so critical that you build a custom Nginx plugin. I thought I was cool for doing a bit of Lua scripting. :)

- themartorana 12y agoAlthough it's difficult to fully articulate, as our traffic is basically a bell curve through the day and we auto scale between say 7 and 13 servers throughout the day... We pay about $4200/month. That includes several TB of traffic (which we gzip compress where it makes sense).
