The most popular tech Q&A site in the world serves 12-14 million web pages per day with Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2. They're passionate about performance, and we'll share the scalability lessons they learned along the way.

This session is aimed at production DBAs who manage SQL Servers that need to go faster and SQL programmers who don't understand why their database won't deliver queries quicker. You'll learn the basic infrastructure behind StackOverflow.com, the decisions made along the way while building the infrastructure, and how to tell when you need to make infrastructure and coding changes in order to scale.

  • Summary:

    - "Everybody's the DBA", i.e. top-down performance tuning

    - MVC profiling, i.e. application-oriented tuning

    - Memcached/Reddis/AppFabric query-result elective caching

    - Apache Lucene or equivalent

    - RAID SSD, IO performance with reliability

    - share because you and everyone learns faster, and it is not your core competency anyway.

    Light bulb moment (20:59 - 25:29): - "Tune later, Cache & Separate Now", i.e. identify and separate what is truly a query and what is calculation.

    Thanks!
