Google infrastructure
An interesting* article about Google’s server infrastructure architecture; talks at a high-level (i.e. no “secret sauce” is revealed) about how their servers are organized, why they took this approach, and at an even higher level about the problems they have to deal with as a result (although, of course, no solutions to those problems are suggested). I would have loved to see more detail, of course, and had more networking and storage - particularly their custom filesystem, which is reportedly very innovative - discussed, but still a good read.
*To me: interesting. To most: dull.
