boo-box system’s web server infrastructure
During the last couple of years, a series of architectural patterns for web design software have consolidated and become popular through frameworks , which facilitate the development and maintenance of these systems. Simultaneously, servers had increased accessibility and reduced costs. Creating a web project became a far easier, faster and cheaper thing to do. However, for the project to succeed, there is still one obstacle that is not easy to overcome: scalability.
boo-box has successfully conquered this obstacle and currently has its infrastructure set up in layers capable of being interwoven horizontally, and that are sufficiently robust to serve thousands of requests per minute. Throughout this post we will present some of the practices currently in use to guarantee a good performance from Communications Systems for Social Media such as Ruby, MERB, CouchDB, Thin, Nginx, Beanstalkd.
