LSD - Features and Key aspects

Posted by saravanan82 on September 4, 2013 at 6:10am

I was just thinking through while building large scale application on top of Drupal on dealing with below aspects..

Multisite with Multiple countries and languages. (1 site with 4 countries, each country with 4-5 languages)
Data import capability for dumping data from external sources via CSV/xls/sql etc
3rd party mash-ups integration (say Amazon, iTunes, Soundcloud etc)
SAP system integration
End to end CRM application
B2B features with -E-commerce support

If we are going to have single Drupal code base and porting all of them on one side, how much Drupal can sustain.

In this article, we show some of the techniques that can allow your Drupal Web site to scale to the grandiose levels you originally hoped for.

Best Practice: Multi-Webservers (Pressflow), Varnish, memcached, APC, CDN

Posted by adrifl on May 24, 2010 at 11:39am

Hi,

We begun our deployment of a large community website from a single machine that combined DB and web server two years ago. We experienced continuous growth and our system evolved significantly, different performance tunings led to the following setup (so far):

Machine A - httpd
Machine B - httpd
Machine C - httpd + Varnishd (incoming traffic, round robin load balancing between httpd on A, B and C)
Machine D - several memcached instances
Machine E - several memcached instances
Machine F - mysqld + NFS

3/19 Sprint - Updates to Download and Extend / Search

Posted by chrisstrahl on March 20, 2010 at 2:24am

This is the current status of the d.o redesign as it relates to Download and Extend along with Search.

Bill O'Connor and Keith Jay continue to be the project leads for this section. Keith and I reviewed and attempted to resolve several issues related to the implementation of Solr and the filters on the D&E section. Several advancements were made in the handling of Solr on staging 5, but we are still running into blockers. After hitting a few blocking issues, we shifted our focus to themeing and management of images on the D&E pages.

Blocking Solr issues:

Lot of sites to manage? Maybe this can help (or you can help with it)

UPDATE Network Manager has been released for 5 6 and 7.
~~I'm releasing a new module soon and wanted to get some feedback on a screencast that I did.~~ It's a project called the Network Manager (http://drupal.org/project/network_manager) and it helps you manage / maintain your sites all from within one site (given permissions set correctly for mysql user).

Here are links to the screencast (Jing forces it to be in 5 minute segments) --
