Some Considerations for Scaling: What We Did At New Relic

A SkillsCast for this session is not available.

In four years, New Relic has grown from a dozen customers to over 25,000 customers, and from collecting hundreds of metrics a day to collecting billions a day. We’ve done this without a huge investment in hardware – which is very cool. This talk will cover some of the ways we built a system that has scaled so effectively. Sharding, of course, but sharding is not magic; caching, of course, but caching is not magic; hardware improvements, of course, but … well, you get the idea. There is no one magic solution but a combination a number of strategic decisions.
