Hello everyone,

I'd appreciate any insights, or source suggestions regarding site traffic and necessary adjustments.

For example, I'm using a simple digital download page for an indie artist. Not a ton of traffic, not a ton of concurrent requests.

Was thinking about introducing something similar for a bigger artist(though still not huge) and I'm concerned for any trouble more demand might create. On the web server side, I'm not worried, as it's on a Pair high volume account.

if you have enough concurrent connections/downloads then nothing
but serious load-balanced servers will help.


I am concerned where I might need back-ups or adjustments to code and

backups are just storage, not exactly a performance issue unless you run
some heavy backup scripts/tools on the server at peak periods.

database queries. Not quite sure where to start in researching this - any ideas or keywords would be appreciated.

get a book? I happen to be rereading "building scalable websites" by Carl
Henderson ... something like that might help you to get a better idea of
what you might be facing.

use simple code, optimize your db and go and read up on everything you can find
about optimizing [download] connections on your webserver ... these spring to
mind

keywords:

[database] optimization
webserver concurrency
scalable web applications
er?


Thanks,
-dg
