    Cheap managed hosting providers -- and then cloud services -- killed the idea. But it was a good one at the time.

  • What Your CDN Won’t Tell You: Optimizing a News Website for Speed and Cost

    Proceedings of LISA '12: 26th Large Installation System Administration Conference

    In this paper, the authors discuss their experiences implementing, operating, and optimizing a content delivery network for Canada’s largest news website, that of the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC). The site receives over one million unique visitors per day. Although CBC uses the Akamai Aqua Platform (formerly EdgeSuite) as its content delivery network of choice, the lessons described here are generally applicable to any infrastructure fronted by a CDN.

    Techniques are described for managing creation and/or execution of distributed programs, such as for a group of multiple interrelated programs that are part of a service-oriented architecture or that otherwise interact during execution to provide a desired type of functionality. In at least some situations, the described techniques include performing decentralized choreographed distributed execution of a group of related programs, by using executing supervisor components for some or all such programs to manage execution-related behavior of the programs. The execution-related behavior that is managed by supervisor components for a group of programs may include, for example, managing interactions between the programs, managing run-time dependencies and other relationships between at least some of the programs, managing update strategies for updating some or all of the programs of the group while the group continues to provide functionality (e.g., performing updates in a defined serial or simultaneous manner), etc.
