Hello All, Following the thread on the CDN, and knowing that soon I'll be working on a site with nearly 7 million users per month and a database nearly 20 GBs in size. I'd like to ask the gurus out there for technologies/modules within Drupal or in the LAMP architecture aimed at huge load sites, I want to try to avoid the problem of "early implementation" which may make some of these technologies unfeasible or hard to implement in the future if not thought out before.
I know about memcache (which I haven't tried yet) and CDN. I know about load balancing (in theory as I haven't needed it yet), and I know that you can also make your server more powerful with more hardware. I personally have tuned servers to squeeze every last bit of performance, but that falls short of what happens when you reach a certain level when squeezing a server just doesn't cut it. What else can you pitch in? Comments? Recommendation? Thoughts? Regards, AA
