Step 2: Database redesign

As part of our milestones towards opening up Inkzee we have the database redesign. We currently manage more than 2 millions posts and over 4000 blogs. And although it might not seem as a lot, our database is starting to complain. A lot of the queries we do against it are getting really sluggish.

That means that if we ought to open up Inkzee we need to redesign the database so it can sustain a higher load of blogs and posts. We are currently working on it and we’ve done great advances. We have a prototype working with the new design but there are still some bugs and problems to resolve.

We hope the new design is finished sometime during this week. We’ll then fire up our test cases and check nothing is broken and once we’re sure the new design is as flawless as we can get it, we’ll release it to you guys! Hopefully you’ll experience a much faster site, not only on a subscription by subscription basis but specially when you request all posts from all blogs.

We’ll keep you posted!

The Inkzee Team
