Surviving the 2008 Elections
In this session, Jeremy Bingham will discuss:
- Initial problems and bottlenecks at the beginning of the primary election season.
- How optimizing MySQL and the backend improved performance.
- How moving to lighttpd and moving page caching into lighttpd with a custom module greatly improved performance.
- How moving to newer and less hardware improved performance, and how it was done.
- And how sometimes you need to fail spectacularly before you can really get it right.

So much potential here. Good info but needed more practice and some specific stories to tell.
