Propel to the Cloud with Open Source or “How we re-engineered a social network”  by Gene Leybzon,  CTO, Trusted Opinion, Inc
Trusted Opinion Social Recommendation Network 2 Propel to the cloud by Gene Leybzon
Trusted Opinion in Numbers Over Million users Over 100 Countries Over 1.5 Million Bars and Restaurants with reviews Over 100,000 emails sent daily 3 Propel to the cloud by Gene Leybzon
“Legacy” architecture 4 Propel to the cloud by Gene Leybzon
How  J2EE architecture  became  a liability instead  of an asset Business needs: Almost “on-the fly” code changes with immediate deployments (daily releases) Extreme scalability Constant tuning based on A/B testing Can not afford expensive DB licensing fee Parallelism in code development with no bottlenecks in the develop-test-release cycles  5 Propel to the cloud by Gene Leybzon
“Legacy” hosting 6 Propel to the cloud by Gene Leybzon
Scalability and Performance  Problems Too much work performed in Database (store procedures did a lot of math on the data) Way too expensive to go to database cluster while a single server (even 16 core) has it’s limits too Overhead of J2EE+templates (slow performance) 7 Propel to the cloud by Gene Leybzon
Other Pain Points Managing offshore development team Significantof effort in system/database administration Too slow to implementchanges Hard to implement detail user behavior  analytics Time to be multilingual and integrate with CDN to support international customers 8 Propel to the cloud by Gene Leybzon
Solution Complete re-architecture from the top-to-bottom and from the bottom-up  Update to current Snapshot of the best technologies 9 Propel to the cloud by Gene Leybzon
Wish list that became the Plan Use latest and greatest technologies Open source, and open source only! Scalability on demand Local team for core software development Best analytics with customized A/B testing framework Good performance and with even better performance perception 10 Propel to the cloud by Gene Leybzon
Why Cloud? Scalability on demand  Dynamic load  Ease deployment/keeping configuration Simplify IT Cool factor 11 Propel to the cloud by Gene Leybzon
Why Amazon? EC2 Cloud Front MapReduce Load balancer Performance monitoring 12 Propel to the cloud by Gene Leybzon
Job Ahead #lines of Java code Migrating to the new database and with completely different database schema Add language support (20 core languages) Add on-demand image uploading to CDN and serving all static content from the CDN 13 Propel to the cloud by Gene Leybzon
Challenges Where to find right and motivated developers? Where to rent the office  How to create a quality code development culture How to have fun along the way 14 Propel to the cloud by Gene Leybzon
Lessons People first Happy developers write good code In-house recruiting Focus on the core, borrow the rest 15 Propel to the cloud by Gene Leybzon
New Architecture 16 Propel to the cloud presentation by Gene Leybzon
New Database Architecture 17 Propel to the cloud by Gene Leybzon
Analyzing log data 18 Propel to the cloud by Gene Leybzon
Semantic Web and RDF Used at Trusted Opinion to store information about Movies and Restaurants  Data stored across all items as “triplets” Allows structured and semi-structured data to be mixed, exposed, and shared across different applications  Took a lot of load from relational DB Easy to add new item categories 19 Propel to the cloud by Gene Leybzon
You can do it too! “Just do itRight” “Right” developers (treat them with respect!) “Right” technology (keep an eye on technology trends, use it fresh but ready) “Right” design (NO new frameworks, focus on the product, not a framework) “Right” management team 20 Propel to the cloud by Gene Leybzon

  • 1. Propel to the Cloud with Open Source or “How we re-engineered a social network” by Gene Leybzon, CTO, Trusted Opinion, Inc
  • 2. Trusted Opinion Social Recommendation Network 2 Propel to the cloud by Gene Leybzon
  • 3. Trusted Opinion in Numbers Over Million users Over 100 Countries Over 1.5 Million Bars and Restaurants with reviews Over 100,000 emails sent daily 3 Propel to the cloud by Gene Leybzon
  • 4. “Legacy” architecture 4 Propel to the cloud by Gene Leybzon
  • 5. How J2EE architecture became a liability instead of an asset Business needs: Almost “on-the fly” code changes with immediate deployments (daily releases) Extreme scalability Constant tuning based on A/B testing Can not afford expensive DB licensing fee Parallelism in code development with no bottlenecks in the develop-test-release cycles 5 Propel to the cloud by Gene Leybzon
  • 6. “Legacy” hosting 6 Propel to the cloud by Gene Leybzon
  • 7. Scalability and Performance Problems Too much work performed in Database (store procedures did a lot of math on the data) Way too expensive to go to database cluster while a single server (even 16 core) has it’s limits too Overhead of J2EE+templates (slow performance) 7 Propel to the cloud by Gene Leybzon

  • 12. Why Amazon? EC2 Cloud Front MapReduce Load balancer Performance monitoring 12 Propel to the cloud by Gene Leybzon
  • 13. Job Ahead #lines of Java code Migrating to the new database and with completely different database schema Add language support (20 core languages) Add on-demand image uploading to CDN and serving all static content from the CDN 13 Propel to the cloud by Gene Leybzon
  • 14. Challenges Where to find right and motivated developers? Where to rent the office How to create a quality code development culture How to have fun along the way 14 Propel to the cloud by Gene Leybzon

  • 16. New Architecture 16 Propel to the cloud presentation by Gene Leybzon
  • 17. New Database Architecture 17 Propel to the cloud by Gene Leybzon
  • 18. Analyzing log data 18 Propel to the cloud by Gene Leybzon
  • 19. Semantic Web and RDF Used at Trusted Opinion to store information about Movies and Restaurants Data stored across all items as “triplets” Allows structured and semi-structured data to be mixed, exposed, and shared across different applications Took a lot of load from relational DB Easy to add new item categories 19 Propel to the cloud by Gene Leybzon
  • 20. You can do it too! “Just do itRight” “Right” developers (treat them with respect!) “Right” technology (keep an eye on technology trends, use it fresh but ready) “Right” design (NO new frameworks, focus on the product, not a framework) “Right” management team 20 Propel to the cloud by Gene Leybzon
