Last week I came across interesting web site by Todd Hoff who was former IBM and Intuit Employee.
His site http://highscalability.com/ on high scalable architectures has some big shot web sites explaining lore, art and science behind it. Some examples are:
- YouTube Architecture
- PlentyOfFish Architecture
- Google Architecture
- Flickr Architecture
- Amazon Architecture
- Scaling Twitter: Making Twitter 10000 Percent Faster
- An Unorthodox Approach to Database Design : The Coming of the Shard
