Act I: The Problem

Somewhere on the edge of a cube farm in Tysons Corner…

What

New “bet the company/agency,” mission-critical app

Scale

Support one million concurrent users

“Success failure” is not an option!

Speed

Database tier must support 100,000 reads and 50,000 writes per second!

Reliability

Zero data loss, full availability even if an entire datacenter goes down!

Budget

No money prior to proven success (ok, a few $1ks for PoC)

No people (no database experts)

Timing

Need plan & PoC end of this week

In sum: Mission-critical app One million simultaneous users 100k/50k IOPS data tier! Resilient to loss of … a

datacenter! No real money or people Show me this week
