Building websites is one thing. What if you had the opportunity to build an application that served 7 million requests per day?! Yeah. Rollups, queries, Innodb customization, triggers, optimization. Scalability is a huge task. Time consuming, brain draining but yet challenging.
First rule: Don't try it if you haven't done it!
Why? You need the consultation of an expert, someone who knows what to expect, how to prepare for such.
I have learned a lot recently about developing for huge growth. So much that I am absolutely overwhelmed yet satisfied with the knowledge that I have learned. It has been difficult, time consuming and painful but the learning process is so awesome!
If you are experiencing rapid growth in a tech startup, don't hesitate to ask questions about data management because if I don't empty my brain, I just might implode with all of this new useful knowledge!
