Sorry for the slowness in voting and commenting today. We're working to fix it.

Posted by KeyserSosa

One of our read slave databases got itself in a bad way some time last night and we're working to get it back into shape. No data was lost; the remaining db is just getting crushed by the load, which is why a posting can take 10s of seconds to complete. Thanks for bearing with us.

Your sense of irony knows no bounds. EDIT: noseven7 wins this round. Clearly the bug is also manifesting itself with extra apostrophies when certain admins comment.

I feel that ever since you guys moved to AWS listnook has been slower and been down longer. From my personal experience, EC virtual nodes are not comparable to dedicated servers in terms of raw power. I think they are over-rated. Does anyone know any other online services as big or much bigger than listnook is hosted on EC? **Edit:** on an unrelated note I use this [chrome extension](https://chrome.google.com/extensions/detail/geedigenhgnhbebebbjlidlalocdggjl) for listnook. Does it put any unnecessary load on the server?

KeyserSosa Dec 10, 2009 +4
From our perspective, this isn't the case. We actually moved all of the core services in May, and most of the issues we've been having are scaling related (there are just too many of you and you're really persistent. ;)

The servers scale linearly, but our software and budget do not.

pavs Dec 11, 2009 +2
If I am not wrong, didn't you guys claim to have saved quite a bit of money since you guys moved to EC?
2
jedberg Dec 11, 2009 +7
Yes, but that was 7 months ago. We've almost doubled in traffic since then. :)
7
pavs Dec 11, 2009 +1
Wow, thats really impressive. Would you say it would have been much more expensive if you guys were still using dedicated servers like before? When I look at high-end dedicated server & bandwidth costs today, its really peanuts. But of-course I don't know the numbers you guys are going through. Personally, I think optimizing servers to get the full potential can be an exciting and rewarding experience. Usually, if things works out as planned. :)
1
jedberg Dec 11, 2009 +4
I think it would have been much more expensive to stick with physical servers. As an example, although our traffic has doubled since May and we're running 150% more "servers" than when we started (we've been able to optimize a bit), our costs have only gone up about 20% (we're running at about $18K/mo right now). Amazon keeps lowering their rates, so that helps too.

jedberg Dec 11, 2009 +2
Having 10 servers costs exactly 10 times as much as one, but that's not the issue. The issue is that our software isn't written to take advantage of 10 servers. More specifically, it is the data layer that is the problem. We can keep adding application servers all we want, but right now we have some bottlenecks in the data layer that need to be addressed before we can add more servers for the data layer.
2
KeyserSosa Dec 10, 2009 +3
That works, and we do take advantage of it, but it doesn't work so well for databases since bringing up a new slave still requires shipping all of the data over to it, which can be really, really time consuming.

For more than 2 years actually. We currently have 4 write masters (each with a different primary task) and 5 read slaves (doled out by which tasks are most loaded). Our current problem is that the voting read slave went down rather hard and re-replicating/rebuilding takes time as there is a lot of data and more coming in every moment.

Moz Dec 11, 2009 +1
> **Edit:** on an unrelated note I use this chrome extension for listnook. Does it put any unnecessary load on the server? It loads a small JSON file from the server for every comment (or maybe one file for each root comment—I'm not sure). It doesn't use a horribly large amount of bandwidth, but I wouldn't say that it's negligible.
1
pavs Dec 11, 2009 +1
Thanks for the info. I think I will stop using it. It was mostly out of curiosity, trying out a lot of new extensions - it doesn't add any value to the listnook experience. Besides I don't care about karma points.

I have also anecdotally experienced this, however I imagine that the listnook staff has actual data from actual monitoring services.

We have not found that to be the case. We actually moved in May. It's really just scaling issues that have cropped up recently.

dicey Dec 11, 2009
Do you have any references to documents describing sane resource planning policies with virtual servers? I think it would be difficult since the performance of a VM can vary depending on the load of other VMs which may be sharing the same physical hardware, as we saw in a recent posting comparing various cloud services. Do you just add in a fudge factor to account for this?
0
pavs Dec 11, 2009 +1
This is a very good (though not exhausted) comparison of VPS performance that I recently read. http://journal.uggedal.com/vps-performance-comparison Even before I saw that comparison, I did some personal number crunching benchmark with EC2 VPS and they are absolutely horrible.
1
dicey Dec 11, 2009
Yes, thanks, that's the one I was thinking of. It was on the front page recently.
0
jedberg Dec 11, 2009 +1
Actually, we have found the performance to be quite consistent. The only place that isn't 100% consistent is the disk, but that is usually within a small range. The beauty of being able to summon new servers in just minutes is that we don't really need to do resource planning. We pretty much just guess, and if we're wrong, we do it again! :) (So far we've been pretty good with our guesses).
1
dicey Dec 11, 2009
I see that you're on EC2, which was the only VPS provider that did show consistent performance in the [recent front page article](http://journal.uggedal.com/vps-performance-comparison). Good decision on your part, then ;)

We reorganized our request handling a little to try to deal with the load. Stalling on votes was jamming our webserver and slowing everything else down. Votes are still going through slowly, but everything else is now getting sent thru to a separate set of app servers. tldr: no, but we're trying to work around it. :)

Don't you get it? When your server dies in the cloud, it dies in real life!

KeyserSosa Dec 10, 2009 +2
The servers are virtualized, but they still act like servers. There is still hardware behind them, and our postgres db can still get backed up waiting on I/O (as is the case right now).

I tried posting a reply to one guy three times, and it sat on "Submitting..." for more than 5 minutes each attempt. I'd hit "save" and then go watch some MST3K on Hulu until it reached a commercial break, and I'd check on my comment: "Submitting..." F***. [Hell, I don't even anticipate this one will make it. I'm pretty much just typing for myself.] Edit: I went to the bathroom, got a drink, and it actually submitted!

Indeed, it's important. That, and the prostate check. Most people don't know that while one in eight women will have breast cancer during their lifetime, prostate cancer affects one in six men (and an astonishing one in four, for black men), with similar mortality rates as breast cancer. Yet, prostate and testicular cancers get a fraction of the attention, funding, and testing. It's important. *They're* important.

And while "45 tens of seconds" is still technically correct - it's f****** disingenuous in the extreme. Saying "submtting comments can take a f****** age, or just fail completely" would have been honest, and accurate. Given that none of us are paying customers, why feed us bullshit, when the truth is right there, and easy to use?

Listnook has a half-life of 2 seconds? Rough crowd. Personally, I give it at least 8 seconds before I delete my account in a furious rampage. Edit: Not half-life

buckX Dec 10, 2009 +20
That's not a half-life. Half-lives are exponential decay, so after 2 half-lives, you have should be at 25% of what you started with, as opposed to the 0% of the linear model.

"may apply to any quantity which follows a set-rate decay." Linear is not set rate decay. What you have is not a half-life, it's merely a length over which the y component halves by coincidence. Start measuring such a "half-life" at any other time, and you'll get a different result.

Regarding "database in question was acting...odd." My suspicion is the database was becoming sentient and possibly neurotic: "Maybe I don't want to index fields or store any new entries! Maybe I want to sing show tunes or play call of duty!" Skynet is now in charge of the internetz.

Is this not fixed yet? I'm getting "an error occurred while posting (status: 504)" when trying to submit posts.

Thank you so much for mentioning this. I seriously was thinking about suicide after seeing a 404 screen when I clicked on my inbox/username.

So you use a MySQL replication cluster? How do writes work? I assume you have MASTER - SLAVE1 - SLAVE2 - SLAVE3 Then you use some load balancer to vary the queries. However, when a new user signs up, or posts a comment, how does the code make the right SQL connection?

Someone clogged the interweb pipes.. Please call al gore and see if this snow storm cooled off the planet long enough for him to come fix the pipes.

You probably shouldn't call it a slave database.

Today? I hadn't noticed since I experience the delays every day. Edit: I'm sorry, let me forget that I experience this just about every day so I can sing the praises of the super fast comment system?

I too apologize for not devoting my full 15 hours of uptime to voting and commenting. I'm working on it.

Maybe you should work on that little "bug" that is keeping us from commenting on some of the sponsored links...

Sponsored links lead to revenue. Revenue leads to more backup databases.

Sponsored links are great. Disallowing comments on some sponsored links is not excusable.

What bug is that? The one that lets the advertiser turn off comments?
