CloudFlare, Now With Faster Stats!
Dec 17, 2010Matthew Prince

Summary
This post details an early iteration of Cloudflare's logging infrastructure, specifically addressing an I/O bottleneck in displaying statistics. To overcome slow query results, Fusion-IO cards were temporarily integrated into the core logging infrastructure to accelerate the parts of the stats database requiring high performance. This was a short-term fix to improve the speed of the stats page while longer-term storage architecture enhancements were planned.
