when web people think architecture
I don’t recall when or how I found highscalability.com but it’s one of the sites that I bookmark and review periodically. Finally, a website that caters to us application/server folks that need to know what it takes to build an environment that support gazillion users.
Each architecture write up addresses the platforms used by each tier of the application from load-balancers to the APIs used between systems to client-side scripts. Of course, network components are rarely addressed in these architectures (and a lot of time server/apps ppl don’t consider slb a network device).
Featured architectures include youtube, amazon, google, and flickr. Plus there are additional useful links to write ups on things like on-demand database, scaling mail servers, and clustering.

About
My name is Catherine Liao and you're reading the latest postings of various blogs I follow. You'll notice that the topics tend to center around Cloud Computing, Data Center, Virtualization, Servers, Web Technologies and 24x7 Operations.
These are topics that I'm interested in as I've spent a large chunk of my professional career building, deploying, and maintaining 24x7 application delivery environments. I use the knowledge I've garnered daily in my role as a Technology Solutions Architect for Cisco. I should note that this site is my personal site and does not reflect the views of Cisco.
Feel free to drop me a note if you find this site useful or if you'd like for me to check out your blog. I can be reached at catherine.liao@gmail.com. You can also connect with me via LinkedIn or Twitter.
