Flickr Architecture | High Scalability
While I was considering how I would go about storing images for an app I’m building, I thought “wonder what approach Flickr takes?”. A quick search, and I find this greatly insightful post, which just boggles my mind!
Till now, I didn’t know that Flickr is built on LAMP – what a testament if there ever was one?!
Directly manipulating videos
Bump top – desktop prototype
FLV MIME type with IIS
This is something I often have to do when setting up a new server, if you’re planning on using FLV video with the site:
- Open properties and “HTTP Headers” tab
- Select “File types”->”New type”
- Enter .flv for extension and “video/x-flv” for content type
Pretty simple, but if you forget to do, could leave you scratching your head for some time, thinking “Now, why don’t my f#$@ing video player work?!”.
