YouTube Architecture

[Ted Roche]

"YouTube grew incredibly fast, to over 100 million video views per day, 
with only a handful of people responsible for scaling the site. How did 
they manage to deliver all that video to all those users? And how have 
they evolved since being acquired by Google?"

I thought others might enjoy this interesting article. While not 
in-depth, some very interesting hints on the engineering challenges and 
solutions. An all-FOSS environment: Linux, Apache, lighthttpd, Python, 
MySQL. Very cool.
