Re: MySpace - How they do it: Staff, Software Servers
I'll be honest and say that they have lots of cash and throw money and servers at a problem rather than tight code. I've talked to them in the past about different things on the site and the results have been all of nothing. Of course this was before the move to bluedragon (from CF 5) so things may have changed (not from what I saw last). Look at the various reports from last years CFUnited to hear how they 'code' their site. There are other rumors about the site, but I can't comment on those, just what they actually said at the conference. Does anybody know of an overview page of the myspace technical setup. I've heard they have a huge software team, that they are moving to . net, and a few other random things. I'm curious to how their operation runs day to day in the web development department.

In talking with several NewAtlanta folks during CFUnited: Upside: Most pages have a .cfm extension Downside: More and more templates contain nothing more than a cfinclude to an .aspx file It's become rather obvious that, rather than leveraging the power of ColdFusion, the move to BlueDragon.NET stems from their desire to slowly migrate their codebase from CF to .NET, without having to rewrite everything at once. This is not to say that there aren't great things coming out of NewAtlanta, or that BD.NET doesn't provide for some great and interesting opportunities.

Well in october BlueDragon will have cfthread, that was a cool tag. They have also stated their is a big performance gain by using BD on the .NET side. I have never used it so you got me... Session management was kinda cool too. I guess in Bluedragon 7 you can recycle an instance without loosing session data. I'm still impressed with what Adobe will be doing with LifeCycle and Breeze integration. Each of these systems are $10,000 plus to integrate into your website right now.

Although, all of this leads to the same result in the end. If development starts to move to .NET and you have a manger that is bent on getting things over to .NET the shear fact that anything CF will cost and extra $1500+ for licensing is a good reason to get rid of it. .NET already has the huge advantage of coming bundled with Windows and thus seems like the obvious choice if you're a manager who could care less about CF.

It's just a shame that MySpace appears to have solely moved to BD.NET for this type of implementation... Cutter, I would not agree with this as a blanket statement. There is still a large amount of cfml code in use - and it will remain in use for a *long* time. The areas targeted for rewrite have been for reasons other than scripting language. The unprecendented success and growth of MySpace.com has created numerous challenges - challenges that would test *any* architecture. The scripting language itself is but one single piece of the overall .NET architecture at MySpace.
