Research topics for starting and optimizing a high-traffic website
- by user745434
I bury a good deal of my ideas for fear that I don't know enough about scaling web applications and high-traffic websites. That said, I'd like to know of any general topics to research in order to ensure that your web app doesn't break / slow down when you start getting to Twitter-level traffic.
I'm looking for research topics with, preferably, additional resources.
For example: Make sure you optimize SQL queries (see High Performance MySQL Optimization)
