Hi,

If i want to have my own social networking platform like Friendster or Orkut, on the same scale.. what will i need? I am not talking about marketing here.. but the technology platform..

Would really appreciate any inputs on this.


Thanks in advance.
 
You'd need some database skillz, and some interesting network traffic management hardware, and some other stuff 🙂
 
well, friendster seems to be using php (altho i could've sworn they were using jsp once?), most likely running a mysql backend?? maybe something that could scale a lot better?? not so sure... i know that myspace uses coldfusion on top of ms sql server...

hopefully that's what you're looking for?? i'm sure there's more stuff behind the scenes (ie load balancers 'n' such, powerful servers, fat bandwidth), but i'm not sure what that could all be...
 
thanks a lot guys... 🙂 i was hoping to find some company who could come up with the technology for me... is that possible?
 
You need a strong back-end with hardcore databases and middleware servers. The platform has to be able to scale too like J2EE or .NET.

Even said Friendster and Orkut suck at scaling. They can barely handle to loads they get now, so something is wrong with the code.
