If you have an environment which require one of these

  • many concurrent visitors
  • instantly reflect frequently changing content
  • runtime adding sites and/or changing URL's of existing sites
  • runtime changing the appearance of sites
  • search including authorization
  • faceted navigation requiring authorized counts
  • personalization of pages
  • storing of visitor data

then you most likely will or have encountered similar challenges we solved for our delivery tier.

I'll explain the models, patterns, libraries and storage choices we made to be able to serve over 15,000 personalized pages per second while meeting all the requirements above.
