LAMP Scaling by the Big Boys

I ran across this at work and thought I should share. There are a lot of LAMP (Linux, Apache, MySQL, Perl/PHP/Python) sites out there on the Internet. One of the bigger ones is Wikipedia. Alka Gupta has posted this blog entry on how that site is scaled.


A very nice high level explanation. Good information to have in case you ever have a site that gets this big. Seven billion page views a month is a lot!
