Re: Wat was the Architecture used in perlmonks

If you look at the bottom of any page, you will see a link to the Everything Development Company. Perlmonks uses the Everything framework, which is written entirely in Perl, and runs on a MySQL database, on a FreeBSD machine. The Everything Bible should give you some idea of Everything's architechture. Our good performance is mostly due to several things:

We have two web servers and one db server, exclusively for the use of Perlmonks, thats a lot of hardware power
Our programmers take care with their SQL and code, that it doesnt bog down our servers
Perlmonks does a lot of caching. The frontpage, for example, doesnt recreate itself every time someone looks at it, a cached version is shown until it expires.

Probably also other things I'm not thinking of..

If you look at the bottom of any page, you will see a link to the Everything Development Company. Everytime i notice that blurb i think that we should update it. Since the code is so far from the real Everything codebase I personally think it should be at least worded differently. Just food for thought and debate. :-) --- $world=~s/war/peace/g	[reply]
