Technically, Social Discovery
Ever wonder how we scaled our architecture to 100M users and 1,000+ servers? Check out our guest post on High Scalability, where Johann Schleier-Smith, our CTO, shares five snapshots at different stages of our growth. See how it all happened here.
Unlike traditional social networks, Tagged is about more than keeping in touch with your real life friends — it’s about making new friends. So technically, it’s not social networking, it’s social discovery.
Of course, building a site that scales to millions upon millions of users is no small task. There is a huge amount of infrastructure involved in powering this endeavor, from storage to servers, networking and management. So this blog is also about technically, how we handle social discovery on a global scale.
Finally, Tagged is also about a talented, dedicated, enthusiastic group of developers who are constantly innovating, trying new technologies and ideas, and dealing with the daily mission of serving billions of page views a month. We learn from others and we learn from each other. This blog is our attempt to share some of the things that we are discovering with you. Enjoy.
