alt.cflock.die.die.die :: clusters and state management with cold fusion


What Did We Build?

Our Workaround:
  • Buy lots of hardware!
    • 2 F5 Networks BIG/IP Load Balancers (4U)
    • 2 Sun 220R (4U E250's) 2x450mhz / 2x18GB / 1GB RAM
    • 1 Sun 420R (4U E450) 2x450mhz / 2x18GB / 2GB RAM
    • 1 Sun A1000 RAID Array Running RAID 5 with 72GB storage (4U)
    • 1 VA Linux 2x2 FullOn 2x700mhz / 1GB RAM / TBU (2U)
  • Build custom CF state management system
Our custom state management is a WDDX/Database-based system that completely ignores the built-in functionality of CF. It requires manual creation, manual management and manual deletion through a combination of Application.cfm, OnRequestEnd.cfm, and a number of custom tags.
