Python Nordeste May 2nd 2014 Matt Robenolt Cheating Your Way
to #webscale
Hello < me irl
Lead Operations Engineer
Core Contributor
So what is #webscale?
10 million requests per second 4ms mean response time asynchronous
io mongodb
10 million requests per second 4ms mean response time asynchronous
io mongodb NOPE
Disqus only does 150 req/s per web server. * we
also write some bad code
150 12,960,000 388,800,000 per second per day per month real
world #webscale
Scale is about hiding the fact that your application is
actually really slow.
If your application feels fast, then it’s probably good enough.
Users hate waiting for shit.
So how do we do it?
Cheating 101
When a user asks for new data, let’s give them
old data instead.
When a user asks for new data, let’s give them
old data instead. Caching
When telling us to do something, let’s say we did
and maybe do it later.

Rule #1 Don’t get caught.
Rule #2 Don’t get caught.
Rule #3 Don’t get caught.
HTTP Caching
Introducing
tl;dr Varnish sits between your application and your users Internet
Let’s talk about HTTP. Hypertext Transport Protocol

COLLAPSING REQUEST
GET / INTERNET Varnish Web servers
INTERNET Varnish Web servers GET /
INTERNET Varnish Web servers GET / If multiple users request
the same object, Varnish makes one fetch and returns to all users.
Queueing
Do as little work as possible, and return a promise
that this work will be done.
INTERNET Web servers Task workers Slow/Fast Data store Queue POST
/foo
INTERNET Web servers Task workers Slow/Fast Data store Queue POST
/foo
INTERNET Web servers Task workers Slow/Fast Data store Queue POST
/foo Workers can rate limit, debounce, increment counters, generate a fast materialized view, etc.
INTERNET Web servers Task workers Slow/Fast Data store Queue POST
/foo Make sure your tasks finish before a user tries to read the data back.
Final Thoughts
Understand your application. Where can you cheat without disrupting user
experience? Is seeing a few seconds old data going to damage a product?
Cheating should only enhance user experience.
Cheat any way you can, just don’t get caught.
