The technology behind Tornado, FriendFeed's web server - Bret Taylor's blog

bret.appspot.com/...tornado-web-server - Preview

framework friendfeed python instant web WebServer opensource Tornado blog feature performance discussion

we
needed the support for a large number of standing connections afforded by
the non-blocking I/O programming style and
epoll.
Tornado looks a bit like web.py or Google's
webapp
5 more annotations...
- tornado.web is built on our non-blocking
  HTTP server and low-level I/O modules.
- Tornado assumes requests are not asynchronous to make writing
  simple request handlers easy.
- use the tornado.web.asynchronous decorator
- You can also see the chat demo in action on FriendFeed's servers.
- When we started, we did use Twisted. In practice, I found Twisted tedious. The deferred abstraction works, but I didn't love it in practice. Likewise, the HTTP/web support in Twisted is very chaotic (see http://twistedmatrix.com/trac/wiki/WebDevelopme... - even they acknowledge this). In general, it seems like Twisted is full of demo-quality stuff, but most of the protocols have tons of bugs.

The realtime APIs will not work reliably across all browser types in a
Comet-style application. We recommend using Ajax-style calls from a
browser (set timeout=0).

clients should use long polling or poll the API using the interval specified in the response.
- If updates are not immediately available, then wait up to this number of seconds for updates before finishing the request.

How FriendFeed uses MySQL to store schema-less data - Bret Taylor's blog

bret.appspot.com/...how-friendfeed-uses-mysql - Preview

mysql performance scalability architecture database starred article friendfeed UUID

However, as we grew, scaling our existing features to accomodate more traffic turned out to be much less of an issue than adding new features.
making schema changes or adding indexes to a database with more than 10 - 20 million rows completely locks the database for hours at a time.
8 more annotations...
- CouchDB
- like MySQL for storage, just not RDBMS usage patterns.
- schema-less bags of properties (e.g., JSON objects or Python dictionaries).
- id, a 16-byte UUID.
- InnoDB stores data rows physically in primary key order.
- Entity bodies are stored as zlib-compressed, pickled Python dictionaries.
- UUIDs allow your database to be spread across anything and even if using a relational database
- We have multiple databases, so the auto_increment can't work as a global ID. Furthermore, for practical reasons, we want to know the ID before we insert into the database. We use standard UUIDs for this purpose.
