Episode notes
Original Infrastructure
- Server Density's original infrastructure used bare metal servers from SoftLayer with MongoDB.
- Sharding and replication were used, but scaling remained a challenge due to database-level locks.
MongoDB Limitations
- Server Density faced scaling limitations, high maintenance, and feature development constraints with their MongoDB setup.
- The custom system required significant resources, hindering progress on new features and scaling efficiently.
New Architecture Overview
- Server Density's new architecture uses Cloud Bigtable, Kafka, Storm, and OpenTSDB, running on Google Container Engine.
- This allows for linear scaling, improved performance, and reduced maintenance overhead.
