  • Oh S***: How to bring a big Rails website down (and how not to)
    Submitted by: riscfuture

    Scribd.com is one of the largest Ruby on Rails websites on the Internet, with over 30 million unique visitors per month. With that kind of scale, even innocuous new features or fixes can overload your database and bring your website down. I'll show three simple little code changes I made that you wouldn't think could bring a website down, and for each I'll deconstruct how I broke Scribd. You'll learn techniques for ensuring your next deploy doesn't break your site, and how to prepare your website for mountains of traffic.
