Question from Githubbers:
Have considered using cluster file systems such as GlusterFS or Ceph?
- kyledrake 11y agoI looked into GlusterFS at one point. GlusterFS is a no-go for static file serving in hostile environments. It asks every node to look for a file, even if it's not there. You can imagine the DDoS attacks you could build here using a bunch of 404 requests for files that don't exist. One story I heard from a PHP dev is that it would take 30 seconds to load a page while it looked for all the files needed to run it.
- jldugger 11y agoYea, GlusterFS is terrible at PHP, or anything involving lots of small files. Like, static sites or say git repos.
- samlambert 11y agoI don't know if it has been considered, however we do have a strong pattern for using DRDB.
