I've requested access on your behalf (you should have gotten an email already). I also realized that I I had a few bad links and fixed those because of your comment. I guess that's what I get for staying up till 4 am this morning trying to find a way out of this mess. If you've got any suggestions on how we could improve Socialping, just let me know, now is a better time than ever to get your voice heard. ;-) Thanks Joshua for the understanding and support.

It happens. Live. Learn. Move forward. Your attitude appears good. That's important. You've delivered so much value already, that I suspect your users will be behind you 100%. I am. I appreciate your service very much and frankly, have been surprised you've been able to pull it off. Nic work man! I'll look forward to the new SocialPing. Thanks man. ;) -JoshuaGuffey Joel,

Fortunately, for our needs this is easily possible, we are only at 1.5 GB worth of data (about 3.5 million keys). We do not currently use clustering or sharding. We've got one server for Redis, and we'll be bringing up a slave this week as a backup. Because we were fighting high loads and needed to get a solution up ASAP, we opted to bring just a master up at the time and then the slave later on. Hi Min,

From what I understand about redis, you have to have the entire data set in the memory.. I'd like to hear how you've clustered or plan to cluster the redis servers.

Since everything we do is based on tags, we can create a hash for a tag with fields for each of the stats we track for that tag, then in real-time we can do HINCRBY for the items that we want to adjust the stats on. When we want to get the stats, it's just one HGETALL call (via a function that turns it into a native array) and we can have all of the stats. The beauty of this is twofold, first since redis is so fast, there doesn't appear to be any additional overhead vs a standard string GET, and second, we've reduced latency in the interface because in just one call we've got all of the stats.
