Fascinating.
"29 petabytes of data transferred every month, or 50 gigabytes per second." Mother of God!
YouPorn hosts “over 100TB of porn”, and serves “over 100 million” page views per day. All told, this equates to an average of 950 terabytes of data transfer per day, almost all of which is streaming video. This is around 28 petabytes per month, which means our 29PB estimate for Xvideos is on the low side; it probably serves 35 to 40PB per month.
And it all runs 100% on Redis and PHP: 300,000 queries per second, and between 8-15GB of data is logged every hour.
I repeat: Mother of God!
