CloudFlare, Now With Faster Stats!

What this post added

This post details an upgrade to Cloudflare's core logging infrastructure to improve the speed of displaying statistics. An I/O bottleneck was identified and addressed in the short term by integrating Fusion-IO cards into the stats database, moving fast-access data and rebuilding indexes. This upgrade resulted in significantly faster stats page loading and query performance. The company is evaluating the long-term viability of this hardware for its core storage architecture.
