系统设计的可扩展性

Review:
These articles were written in 2011 and based on web servers, so the design theories seem relatively simple today.

1. Clones

• Servers behind LB shouldn’t store user-related data such as sessions on local disks or memory, those user-related data should be stored in external persistent cache.

2. Databases

• NoSQL databases can take the place of MySQL sometimes, because MySQL is more expensive and harder to maintain.

3. Cache

• Only memory cache is recommended, cache will make the service quicker.
• Cached objects instead of database Queries.

4. Asynchronism

• Asynchronism aims to solve the problem of waiting for some time-consuming tasks.
• One way is to deal with some tasks in advance, but the limit is that these tasks must be regular.
• The other paradigm is to put a job into a job queue and tell the producer we have accepted you job. And when the job is done once we will inform users about it. Such as RabbitMQ.
