Hi
I'm kind of new, just wondering:
Is it possible to build something simliar to Flickr or YouTube with the
0.9+ TG Framework?
you can do everything on any language it's just a mather of time
(FYI: Flickr was written in PHP, YouTube was written in Python)
How about scalability?
scalability has nothing to do with frameworks, it's just how the app is design.
What sort of approach should I take in building such a system?
Basically how all web apps end up scalling is making every request 100% independant from the other, therefore no mather which server process it the user will always get the same answer. So you end up with a cluster of servers, and lots of data store in the client (cookies) and some more on the request object, and as flew as posible on the session since sharing this between servers is a lot of overhead on your side.
Any opinions or suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks!
now why will you make a copy of something that has already all the market? are you planning on an enhancement that will make the service so much better that will have those millions of people leave the "first" one they use to go to yours?
On the other hand (and this is personal opinion) both youtube and flickr seem to be a great idea but a bad bussiness, rumors say yahoo is taking a huge hit on that bill and youtube's bandwitdh cost is so so big that millions in investment only last a flew months.
