Subject: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Web Farm Ideas
Greetings-
I am coming up with ideas for building a new farm. We currently run CF
and Apache on a bunch of decent sized boxes, headed by a set of F5's. We have
an isolated Dev Environment. The current framework for putting stuff into
production is homegrown, and in need of an overhaul, I just want to see if
there is something out there to assist, or if our model is wrong at this point.
We do a bit over a billion hits per annum. Now, I would like to brainstorm
architectural changes.
Workflow as it is now:
Developer works on dedicated dev server->
Developer goes to web interface in order to select items to go into
production (php/rsync) ->
Submit process "stages" selected files (copies them into a local heirarchy) ->
Cron syncs that local "staging area" to the production servers.
How do larger organizations do this?
How are uploads handled?
Shared storage?
I think I'm just looking for other ideas.
Any input would be great.
Thanks
P
