LOAD-BALANCING INBOUND REAL-TIME DATA UPDATES FOR A SOCIAL NETWORKING SYSTEM

摘要

Some embodiments include a method of operating a load-balancing engine for a social networking system receiving real-time updates from mobile devices. The method can include receiving a location-based record update associated with a user account; writing the location-based record update separately to at least two different databases; forwarding the location-based record update to an analytic engine of a web service computer system; receiving a first derivative dataset computed based on the location-based record from the analytic engine; and writing the first derivative dataset separately to the at least two different databases.
