¿?¿? You read/understood something of what I wrote?


[Balancer]

[httpd] [httpd] [EC2]

[Mysql*] [Sphinx*]

[] independent systems.
* And other services

EC2 Machine does the scaling. Both balanced httpd are ready to process
new incoming petitions. One of them have a process waiting answer from
ec2 and only this one take more time to finish. the "HARD WORK" is done
by auto-scalable EC2 machines.

¿?¿? What you say is the easy way. But ineffective. And waste resources,
A LOT OF THEM. because implies having a few machines for a few days only
doing this work! And also implies a few days without having this work
available online!

The images have to be resizes yes or yes. You thought that "the server"
is only a http server. For me the server "do services". An the important
services for the company where I get a lot of experience about big
amount of image reescaling is having the images available for the user
today, just 2 seconds after the click, and not two weeks in the future,
just one second after the click.

If you think that doing resize on server is risky. Yes, it is. You have
to dimensionate correctly your hardware, and do a good logic. But it can
be done, it's done everyday by a lot of companies. I worked in one of
them. I saw. And I could empirecally (exists this word?) test the way
you explain and the way I explain. And the result in the real world, is
that the little overhead of this last is insignificant compared with the
benefits.

Is not if images sizes changes before you finished reescaling.

This say nothing.

I don't know how long take Daniel's images. I know how long takes mine.
I exposed mi case: 1million images. And post by post I have been
detailing some data about the structure used to host.

You are mixing apples and oranges. It take 3 weeks to resize de images
in computers that are not thinked to do. And buy a "good computer" only
to scale off-line images is more expensive than using a good dimensioned
server.

But it is now working. On real world. And with traffic. Perhaps I do
magic... and I am a wizard or you're wrong.

The graphics people? what are you talking about? we are talking about
rescaling images, not about its artistical content.

And also we are not talking about good or bad companies. And I you think
you have skills to judge about companies from a fragmented view you take
from a few words on Usenet... Perhaps you are also a wizard like me...

I said what I said. And there is a lot of things I don't said. But you
decided how I do what I don't said.

If explaining about this is for you "back-pedaling" what are you trying
to say? That I am lying or something like that?

And... Why? :) have no sense.

I wrote the traffic. 8 millions page views per month. And. Is work the
server have to do! Because we serve images!!! And we serv today, not
next week.
