What technical considerations must a system/network administrator worry about when a site gets onto social bookmarking/sharing sites? -


the reason ask stack overflow has been dugg, slashdotted, , redditted.

first, kinds of effect have on servers power website? second, can done system administrators ensure sites remain , running best possible?

unfortunately, if haven't planned before happens, it's late , users have poor experience.

scalability first immediate concern. may start getting more hits per second getting per month. first line of defense programming , design. make sure you're not doing stupid reloading data database multiple times per request instead of caching it. before spike happens, need realistic load tests see bottlenecks are.

for absurdly high traffic, consider ability switch dynamic pages on static pages.

having server architecture can scale helps. shared hosts don't scale. single dedicated machine doesn't scale. using amazon's ec2 host can help, if plan cluster of servers beginning (even if cluster single computer).

you're next major concern security. you're bigger target bad guys. make sure have security plan in place. should have, become more important high usage.
