These are a bunch of presentations about some of the biggest websites in the world and their scalability stories (I call them stories because each case is a unique narrative, much like a grandma’s story).

One might be tempted into thinking that this is plagiarism with a sugar coating; but I beg to differ on this; a very big part of innovation is “imitation” and as long as you are proving to be a net addition to the body of existing knowledge, there is no harm in this.
