Wow monster traffic!

slick, key-value store DBs :D

It's akin to nodejs, or something.

can someone explain this a bit more?

"Key-value stores allow the application to store its data in a schema-less way."

do they still have stolen videos on their tubes?

Key value stores is also known as NoSQL.

The reason why NoSQL has been so popular the last few years is mainly because, when a relational database grows out of one server, it is no longer that easy to use. In other words, they don't scale out very well in a distributed system. All of the big sites that you mentioned Google, Yahoo, Facebook and Amazon (I don't know much about Digg) have lots of data and store the data in distributed systems for several reasons. It could be that the data doesn't fit on one server, or there are requirements for high availability.

As this amount is for pageviews, make it 10 million unique a day. Or more likely 30 million... :helpme :helpme :helpme

I use MongoDB, MySQL, Redis, Memcache, and HBase at work. Redis definitely has some cool features. It has a lot of data types / structures not available in the other databases.

I love this stuff. Looking forward to the slides if I can check 'em out.

I was hoping Redis was some open source software we could use LOL j/k.
