‘How To Make Data Services Scale Like Google’ – ‘ReadWrite’
The latest post on ‘ReadWrite’ is titled “How To Make Data Services Scale Like Google”.
Matt Asay says, “One of the biggest mysteries in computing is how Google achieves such massive scale in its operations so efficiently. Many would argue that Google’s leading competitive advantage today is how well it runs its datacenters, allowing it to create and iterate innovative services at a pace other vendors can’t match.
Google’s secret sauce is a software layer originally code-named BORG that orchestrates running applications across the company’s global datacenters. Rather than assembling separate clusters of servers for each service—one for Google Search, one for Gmail, one for Google Maps—Google shares the workload of all these services across all of its datacenter resources”.
