I need to quickly replace a listings website which has the following characteristics:
- smallish database (10,000 items, < 1GB)
- < 10% of the items updated/created/removed daily
- most common activity is searching the whole dataset, returning 1-1000 items
- traffic peaks at 1m page impressions per day
Scaling strategy for the existing app has been to separate read-only and read/write activity. Multiple slave databases are used for searching and writes are done to a master, which update the slaves using MS SQL replication.
Since read activity is more common than write, this has proved to be a cheap way to do database load balancing, without true clustering.
I now need to replace the app - are there any C# open-source apps which scale as neatly as this?
