Beyond LAMP: Scaling Websites Past MySQL
- Your vote:
- Yes No
- Organizer:
- Description:
- Most startups begin with a basic LAMP stack (on PHP or Python) and then add database replication and memcache as they grow. But then what? There's a big gap between these out-of-the-box solutions and what it takes to run something bigger.
- Questions
Answered: -
- What is LAMP?
- When is LAMP a fantastic option?
- At what point does it stop being a fantastic option? (maybe combine with above)
- OMG the website is slow! What next?
- What makes an application able to scale off a single machine/database well, while some cannot?
- What off-the-shelf products have you tried to replace a traditional database?
- When have you decided to roll your own data storage and query mechanisms? How well do those work, and how long do they take to build?
- What have you tried that has turned out to be a bad idea?
- What are some ways non-traditional databases can save money or headache before a site gets to the point where they are unreasonable?
- If you had one piece of advice (with regard to future scalability) to give web application designers in the early stages of building their apps, what would it be?
