Streaming Logs and Processing View Counts using Redis Cluster Seandon Mooy (Imgur) When you browse through Imgur, you notice that each user's post includes the number of views for that particular post. Imgur processes over 3 billion views per month and powers our view count feature using Redis. In this talk, we cover our current architecture for streaming logs and processing view counts using Redis Cluster, as well as some of the alternatives we explored and why we chose Redis.

- 6. 3 Billion!
- 8. Delay!
- 11. Also… I may not be the best zookeeper
- 12. Challenges with Hbase Roughly 5% of all requests through THRIFT were failing… So many tunables!

- 27. Things to be aware of: 1. Redis Cluster shard maps - redirections, etc. Monitor redirections - gracefully restart workers after shard moves 2. AOF can slow down / fail large “redis-trib.rb” operations. Make sure to disable before / re-enable after! 3. Not all legacy systems support Redis Cluster, and if they do… They might not support it well (PHP-FPM)! 4. Over memory capacity behavior? Previously we would hard-crash - now we’d LRU old 1-view images. Neither are good, but for us, one is much less painful
- 28. ViewCount V3? Approaching the point of minimal gains for man-hours, but what else might be fun? 1. Moving PHP7 off NodeJS API and directly to Redis Cluster Downsides: dealing with shard maps is complex is a stateless / process-per-request environment! 2. Using redis3's BITFIELD or HSet to save on key storage costs Downsides: complicate the system, reduce “hit-by-a-bus” issues - keys are just hashes, values are just counts! 3. Dealing with the nature of TCP Streams (TCP is not HTTP!) One connection to rule them all! - Node’s Cluster module helps, but perhaps Rust or Golang? Downsides: Vertical scaling is non-obvious on EC2
