O'Reilly Radar > Database War Stories #2: bloglines and memeorandum: "In Monday's installment, Cory Ondrejka of Second Life said 'flat files don't cut it', but Mark Fletcher of bloglines and Gabe Rivera of memeorandum.com apparently don't agree.Gabe wrote: 'I didn't bother with databases because I didn't need the added complexity... I maintain the full text and metadata for thousands of articles and blog posts in core. Tech.memeorandum occupies about 600M of core. Not huge.'
Mark wrote: 'The 1.4 billion blog posts we've archived since we went on-line are stored in a data storage system that we wrote ourselves. This system is based on flat files that are replicated across multiple machines, somewhat like the system outlined in the Google File System paper.'"
