Feb 28th With over 400 million check-ins in the last year, it’s safe to say that our servers log a lot of data. We use that data to do a lot of interesting analysis, from finding the most popular local bars in any city, to recommending people you might know, and even for drawing pretty pictures . However, until recently, our data was only stored in production databases and log files. Most of the time this was fine, but whenever someone non-technical wanted to do some data exploration, it required them knowing scala and being able to query against production databases.

One of the questions I get asked a lot is what developer platform is the most scalable. Some people seem to believe it’s Java or .NET, others feel it’s Python or PHP. There also seems to be a misconception that Ruby doesn’t scale well. A definitive answer to this trick question? They all scale – up to a point (*when your infrastructure has millions of users & transactions – then you have to rely on in-memory databases, content delivery networks, caching servers, x64 servers, ect to keep things snappy). To illustrate this, I’ll delve into the architecture of some of the most popular social networks out there.
