A WebMaster’s view of Eclipse.org

Rants, praise and observations related to the technical and psychological challenges of running servers for a pretty busy site.

20 Terabytes!

Eclipse.org servers have sent over 20 TB to the Internet in October. This is the first time we break the 20 TB barrier in a regular, non-release-train month. This means we were at peak bandwidth for most of the time (except on weekends).


It’s interesting to know that Eclipse.org servers don’t generally go under 40 Mbps of sustained traffic, even on weekends.

    Ouch. Do you have a break down of what the majority is? Is it regular downloads? Bots? p2? Or just plain web traffic?


  2. Eric Rizzo Says:

    Further evidence that you guys do a bang-up job of keeping that critical infrastructure running smoothly (most of the time). Thanks, Eclipse web team!


  3. Eric Rizzo Says:

    Has it ever been considered to set up Google Analytics for eclipse.org so that the stats can be made public and easily digestable?


  4. Denis Roy Says:

    We don’t have an actual breakdown, but most of it is p2, then rsync to mirrors.

    Eric: thanks. We do have Google Analytics running since September, we just need to figure out how we’re going to publish reports.

    Any sign that resolved https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=237936 is making its way into the installed base. Do you see p2 traffic using gzip?
