summary
Describes building a real-time user-session statistics service to measure ads and quality that runs under very high load (about 14,000 requests/sec on a single Linux/nginx server) where backend databases are the main bottleneck. Uses PHP as the application glue while warning that higher-level languages can conceal system costs, and notes a ~20-person Irkutsk-based team supporting growing Russian demand.
