Scaling with Friends
What started with two brothers in the McKinney Public Library is now a world wide word phenomenon on multiple mobile platforms. We’ll look at how we have grown, the mistakes we made, and the changes we have made along the way:
- Serving millions of players a day: Stats, stats, stats!
- Working with constraints: * 1 service, 2 games (and counting) * Native clients means backward compatibility, ftw!
- How do I know what to fix? Instrumenting and reporting on everything
- Where is the data? Using the database, memcache, Redis to the fullest
- What we did wrong? What we did right? What would we do differently?

It always refreshing to hear a company speak about their issues and talk about how they resolved them. This was a very good talk and I would recommend to anyone that needs to scale their site to support many users. Bravo!!!!!
It was very interesting to see that Zynga with Friends had very similar problems like we had – but they had chosen a different path to solve them.
Excellent talk, I really enjoyed it.
This was an excellent, excellent presentation. Execution! Substance! Scalability, warts, evolution – all of this highly relevant to my job. This is what I came to RailsConf for.
