Help CouchDB Break the C10K Barrier
Over the weekend, I was experimenting with CouchDB to see if it can pass the C10K barrier. Some of the performance optimizations I made along the way are really OS-level optimizations that affect MochiWeb (erlang web server) and fairly well documented in many blogs. This one by @metabrew in particular is a pretty good read, since it focuses on Erlang and MochiWeb. While I am a performance junkie, I am not an Erlang hacker. So this is a call for help to the CouchDB hackers for recommendations on scaling out CouchDB.
The initial tweaks made by the blitz.io guys, took CouchDB from under 1000 concurrent users to around 2300 concurrent users. There’s still a long way to 10k concurrent users and they’d appreciate your help.
