Characterizing the scalability of a large web-based shopping system
Abstract
This article presents an analysis of five days of workload data from a large Web-based shopping system. The multitier environment of this Web-based shopping system includes Web servers, application servers, database servers, and an assortment of load-balancing and firewall appliances. We characterize user requests and sessions and determine their impact on system performance scalability. The purpose of our study is to assess scalability and support capacity planning exercises for the multitier system. We find that horizontal scalability is not always an adequate mechanism for supporting increased workloads and that personalization and robots can have a significant impact on system scalability.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
