Given the "web-scale" and SaaS trend, I'm actually surprised that you don't have more comments here (or maybe you just got a lot of emails). Anyhow, I would be happy to have a second-opinion of my "MP" portion now that my company (https://www.seqcentral.com) has launched.

Nice idea for the project, the web app looks good! A few people have emailed me about performance, server choices, and LAMP development processes and tools.

Any particular area of your website you're experiencing issues with, or any specific section you're looking for a second opinion on?

Just wanted to follow up here that aonic and I conversed offline through email; he was very helpful. The skinny -- look at nginx + fcgi, design for separating read-only traffic (SELECT) from write-only traffic (INSERT, UPDATE), think about memcache early on but abstract it away.

Another note from me: architect profiling into app and prepare to log everything because if you don't know where bottleneck is, you can't remove it.

Its a cool idea! since days i've been thinking of talking to you guys, here i find you. :-)

Send me an email. I'd be happy to chat with you about what we're doing. archuleta@<domain name>
