Yep, this is basically our approach as well.
We've been using DRBD for quite a long time now on our Git fileservers (which also run in active/standby pairs - in fact, they look a lot like our Pages fileservers) so we have quite a lot of in-house experience with it and it's a technology we're pretty comfortable with. Given this, using it for the new Pages infrastructure was a pretty straight-forward decision.
- kyledrake 11y agoYeah, I've read the engineering posts about DRBD for the git fileservers, so I assumed that's why you made that decision. Makes total sense to me.
- steveklabnik 11y agoThis exchange is wonderful, and absolutely what I'd expect out of you two, and maybe I'm just in a bad mood, but it stands in such contrast to the way I often see technologies discussed online. This kind of thing is the way engineering should be. Kudos.
- patcon 11y agoYay for acknowledgements! Yay for recursive enthusiasm!
- aleem 11y agoI make use of Lua and Redis for handling a few million redirects and have been happy with it so far. I never considered MySQL due to performance concerns. 3ms for connection setup + auth + query seems reasonable. Are you using persistent DB connections? Any other mods? What sort of timeouts have you configured for DB connections?
