under 10%?
no answer? LT: depends what you're doing... ***: Zuul_ has joined #arpnetworks

just trying to get a ballpark
has anyone tried running a typical webserver on both metal and a VPS? mike-burns: You'd need to compare an identical machine with an identical VPS. RandalSchwartz: I know what has to be done. I'm just wondering if anyone *here* made decisions based on having done that or read about it. mike-burns: Fair enough. I haven't, no. RandalSchwartz: since many people here pick a VPS, just wondering if anyone wonders if they should have a bare metal instead. mike-burns: Oh no wait, my company just did. azmarco_: i dont need bare metal mike-burns: We just switched to bare metal for one of our projects (Hoptoad) because the cloud hosting we used shared DB resources.
http://robots.thoughtbot.com/post/3743877956/hoptoad-the-cloud-and-the-pond-ahead - lots of non-relevant details and no great numbers, but we had IO issues and CPU issues. RandalSchwartz: but was that to get dedicated DB, or to get away from XEN? mike-burns: Get away from ... well I don't know if it was Xen (I don't work on the Hoptoad project), but to get full control over HDDs. LT: there's an apache benchmark at http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=ubuntu_kvm_history&num=2 RandalSchwartz: fair enough. LT: I do get the impression disk IO can be a big problem with virtual machines, more so than CPU bound stuff. at least if you assuming the CPU support VT extensions RandalSchwartz: these apps are mostly memory and CPU intensive
disk IO is minimal... maybe a new file every few seconds.
I presume the expense is at the syscall boundary anyway
if those are kept to a minimum, can't be a big issue. toddf: in the end, vps will work, question is, will it work well enough .. and that depends on factors like popularity and efficiency of the apps etc. in most cases it comes down to 'short term investment in efficient resource utilization design vs lower initial but larger long term investment for bare metal for somewhat snappier performance' .. IMHO ;-) ***: ziyourenxiang has joined #arpnetworks

amdprophet: i'll get you the vps today amdprophet: np
our API is getting smashed to bits
need to expand up_the_irons: LOL amdprophet: :P
~ 200,000 requests a day
mostly when people in north america are off work / school
each request usually needs to scrape a website with html that isn't following standards correctly coobra: amdprophet: whf are you upto :p amdprophet: mobile application
Reach Service Record
for iOS + Android up_the_irons: amdprophet: this runs off your vps(s) ? amdprophet: yup up_the_irons: SWEET amdprophet: even supports IPv6 for anything hitting our API too up_the_irons: nice
amdprophet: btw, PM me a free IP you want to use for the new vps (if you didn't already do it in the order comments) amdprophet: I think we did in the order comments
I think 236 and 238 are free, so lets go with 236
need two interfaces (one for internal use)

nooooooooooooooooooooooooooo amdprophet: rofl ***: fink has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 250 seconds) au: amdprophet: ooh a htc app? amdprophet: yea, you should be able to run it on your htc android
you can use one of our gamertags to test it out if you want... here's mine - "Justin Kolberg"
still a possibility of getting a few crashes in the app, but most of them should be fixed au: I am not very smart with my phone
is it on the market thing? amdprophet: yea
