Distributing traffic smartly in a small cluster setup can be enough to deliver content fast and easily. In this session I would like to show our setup on tradebit.com, where we host thousands of merchants and over 60 Terabytes of downloadable products on a very simple and easy self-made LAMP cluster with SphinxSearch Server. The session includes a complete sketch of all involved servers, NFS response times, traffic handling methods with Squid reverse proxies, catalog browsing with MySQL and Sphinx and how the data is distributed with 2 masters and 6 slaves with MySQL 5.x. The idea is to have a scaling setup that is focused on the load balancing of reads and writes and how faulty servers can be handled without downtime.
