Inside MySpace
I read an interesting article on Baseline called Inside MySpace. It’s interesting (to me, anyway) to read about how sites struggle with scalability as the site grows very rapidly. I got a real shocker when I read about how they switched to SQL Server 2005 while it was still in Beta. Why? Because the latest SQL Server was only 32-bit, thus limiting the amount of RAM it could access to 4GB.
Yikes. Why the heck are they running this on Windows?
Had they used Linux, they wouldn’t have had this silly restriction, and they wouldn’t have had to resort to using Beta database server software.
