If you struggle to distribute workload across multiple frontends, this guide on bare metal load balancing might be helpful. Our Sys Architect shares lifehacks on how to make servers process more than half a million requests per second. The article features gdnsd and nginx configuration scripts. The guidelines helped us to ensure even traffic usage and network load distribution, as well as smooth deploys for our programmatic DSP.

Already fixed. Should show up in a few minutes. Silly eds put the period of the sentence as part of the URL.

If anything, consider what would have likely happened if those capable of creating these kind of things tried to "get a job". Do you think we would have had a Facebook had the person with the dream tried to build it under someone else's supervision? Would the creativity have even been tolerated in a modern executive-led organization?
Before I place too much hate on Zuckerberg, I have to look up to him for knowing his dream and doing it.
I believe all of us who find ourselves in the position of being an organ-grinder's monkey know that if you have your dream, do it yourself. Most "leadership" types flat will not tolerate creativity in the workplace. They use the phrase "think outside the box" a lot, but should you fail to "do it by the book", you have just provided evidence for your termination.
Don't try to be hired to do it. You gonna have to do it yourself. Investor types spend serious money for "leadership" training to compartmentalize and restrict what can be done in the workplace. Rarely have I seen them do things to foment creativity and genuine pride in a job well done. They want profits, now. Even if you have to burn the future to get a quick fix NOW.
I have known a helluva lot of really bright people, but way too stifled in organizational bureaucratic red tape and office politics to do anything.
If I had one word of retrospective advice, look at Zuckerman and the other people who came out of nowhere. Think they would have made it as a cubicle-dwelling obedient little wage-slave?

with that funding, i would be generous. I would condsider the pain that the academic elite feel now that the open-mouth breathing unwashed masses have emerged in a post-AOL internet.
I would then pay editors and other people that could help, to eliminate unrelated culutural meme generating meta tagging stupidity, like the term 'lifehacks', considering setting up load-balancing on server hardware seems to be more of a "how do to your job now that you braindumped that test" sort of 'hack', not a '
organize your cable clutter with toliet paper roll tubes and paperclips' which normally is what falls under that lifehack category for tech advice.

Just a heads up: the trailing period at the end of that link breaks things a little. The source itself seems fine though [getintent.com]

Digital Signal Processor? TFA only has DSP once, and it isn't explained.
Some searching suggests it could be Demand Side Platform. Maybe. Meaning bidding for ads.

Makes sense, as the code samples contain the word "adserver" several times. Actually I was hoping that there was some technical meaning of "adserver" that I don't know, but after your comment, I'm pretty sure that word means exactly what it seems to mean.
Well, I'm helping them with their load issues by simply not generating additional load for them. ;-)

Yeah, after a quick look, the site is all about advertising. It's interesting though, technical well written with detailed analysis, really gives you a different insight into ads.

Because bare metal is exactly the opposite of the cloud?
