Inside Pantheon: the Valhalla filesystem | Pantheon
by holyverAt Pantheon, when we look at challenges Drupal projects face, we don't only do what's worked well-enough in existing deployments. We ask ourselves how we can transcend some of the challenges entirely. How Drupal stores files is no exception. So, when we started building the next generation of Pantheon (now launched), we looked at our options -- and then built a solution entirely focused on the needs of Drupal developers.

Drupal CDN & Static File Server - The Amazon S3 Way | Slayerment
by holyverThis post isn't meant to be an end all to Drupal and CDNs, but rather just some insight into the way I have tackled this issue for the time being.
There are a number of options to choose from and a lot of different ways to go about it. You could get a new server locally and load balance your stuff, you could get a new server locally and use it as a static file server, you could team up with a big time CDN like Akamai or Limelight and go that route, or you could go the less expensive CDN route with something like Amazon S3.

Drupal et mySQL sont sur un serveur...
by nhoizeyC'est surtout pour ça que je suis fan de SPIP : « contrairement au discours ambiant qui tend à proclamer que hors Drupal plus de salut, et que SPIP est mort, ce dernier fait mieux qu’agoniser.

Not acceptable of course, so we went searching for solutions:
scaling drupal - an open-source infrastructure for high-traffic drupal sites | johnandcailin
by holyver & 1 otherin this article, i outline a step-by-step process for incrementally scaling your deployment, from a simple single-node drupal install running all components of the system, all the way to a load balanced, multi node system with database level optimization and clustering.
since you almost certainly don't want to jump straight from your single node system to the mother of all redundant clustered systems in one step, i've broken this down into 5 incremental steps, each one building on the last. each step along the way is a perfectly viable deployment.
Litenode | Development Seed
by claire_Litenode is a new module that uses Views to replace multiple node_loads() on a page. The largest source of queries on a page is almost always node_load(). It can push your query count very high, since each node has multiple queries run. That means that there tends to be a nearly linear relationship between the number of nodes on the page and the number of queries.
