Hot New Blog: High Scalability

High Scalability is a new (not quite one month old) blog aiming to "bring together all the lore, art, science, practice, and experience of building scalable websites into one place so you can learn how to build your system with confidence."

Don't be fooled into thinking it's all about CSS or Apache configurations or stuff like that. Consider this: An Unorthodox Approach to Database Design : The Coming of the Shard. Now, blogger Todd Hoff may or may not be onto something entirely novel and unique with his concept of database "sharding" to distribute database storage and computation, but it is definitely interesting.

And he's got a lot of other good information here, such as a precis of the eBay Architecture, MySpace Architecture, and much more.

Great job, Todd, and keep it up!
