Marketplace Idea for Servers

Hey Guys,

I’m not sure as to how the current setup is, but i’m presuming it’s one or two servers hosting the marketplaces.

I’ve been learning recently about cloud-networks, and how these sorts of networks operate and are effective in providing steamlined content to a vast array of users.

I was wondering if Envato ever thought of doing such thing as setting up a cloud network of servers, it might better serve visitors and provide faster load times..

Just an idea….

How does a cloud network work?

I must say though that after being dreadul a couple of months ago, the Envato servers have been doing a might fine job of late. Of course they could always be faster….

alot of stuff is hosted by amazons services such as S3…

We are, in fact, in the cloud (for some content, anyway)

There is always room to improve though, and in the future we will be looking to serve more content though CDNs. I think technically speaking our server environment can be described as a cloud too, but I’m getting kind of sick of hearing that word .

Yeah, I guess it’s more cluster than cloud.

But, It was just a thought.

I heard along with the redesign, the pages will be a lot more optimized aswell.

I heard ThemeForest’s new colour scheme is hot pink. Apparently Collis is taking revenge for people describing the green and brown as boring. But that’s just, you know, a rumour. I guess we’ll have to wait and see .

They should rename it to fabulousforest. Newgrounds introduced pink aura’s with their redesign that were considered as a “fab aura”. So this is just the logical way to go.

That only applies to static content though. What about processing? Are you guys running on something like Amazon’s EC2 ?

Yes!! That’d mean it will match my new template: Bright Pink SpottyPress

I heard a little something that they might be putting together a developer’ish blog that explains their entire tech setup.

Everything from their nginx reverse proxies through to database setup and amazon s3 storage.

I would be really interested in reading this especially seeing some updated stats on hits / file transfers across the networks.
