What did the team at Yahoo do when they realized they had an old proprietary back-end application running their business? They moved to an open source map reduce implementation from the Apache Software Foundation named Hadoop.

We're Coming to NYC! Web 2.0 Expo CFP is Open →
By Brady Forrest
We started the Web 2.0 Expo to meet the demand that we saw in our conferences. The inaugural Web 2.0 Expo in 2007 was a huge success (and one that we are hoping to repeat in late April).

What we can all learn from the Amazon outage. →
I didn’t write about the Amazon storage service outage here before now but I have been thinking a lot about what we all can learn from it. First a few details; The amazon S3 storage solution had issues from 3:30am PT to 6:48am PT on 2/15. The issue manifested itself in a “large” increase in authenticated calls to the S3 service.

Seattle Conference on Scalability 2008 →
Posted by Andrew Schwerin, Software Engineer We just announced on our Research Blog that we’re holding the second scalability conference in Seattle on Saturday, June 14. We had a hunch we weren’t the only ones who liked to sit around and brainstorm solutions for hard problems, and it turns out we were right. We met so many great people at the 2007 gathering that we’ve decided to...
