Jeremy Wright: Criticizing Web 2.0 Companies On Scale, But Not Scaling B5?

Posted by Stowe Boyd

It's a strange convergence: On one hand Jeremy Wright is criticizing Web 2.0 companies for not scaling -- he names Technorati and a bunch of others -- but at the same time B5 hits all sorts of scaling issues themselves:

[from Ensight - Jeremy Wright’s Personal Blog � Web 2.0 Companies NEED To Scale]
Maybe I’m just spoiled, having worked in high performance, high availability apps before, but it constantly astounds me what some folk consider “scaleable” and “available” applications. I’ve spent about 10 hours this month working with really, really high profile Web 2.0 ish companies nearly yelling at them about their lack of true infrastructure.

...

[from b5media.com - the blogger's blogging network]
Over the last week or so, it’s becoming quickly apparent that our current hardware resources aren’t enough to keep the network up. We’ve been working on another solution, but we’ve been waiting until we’ve paid our bloggers for November before we go and spend gobs of money.

Our hope is that in the next week or so this will be fixed. Sorry about any recent (and upcoming, until we get new hardware in) downtime.

A bit schitzoid, although in principle the two issues can appear totally unconnected.

I've always been a bit dualistic. The scaling things been on my mind for about 2 months, as I've been working with a bunch of companies on issues that they could have solved when they launched if they just thought things through :)

First, there are usually some easy temporary optimizations you can do, such as not showing how many articles are in a sibject or not showing "Recent Comments".

Second, do you think the recent sluggishness has decreased your chances for success? Probably not.
