Using Amazon S3 for screenshot storage

2008-02-22 14:40:41 | johann | #

Browsershots is on the frontpage of del.icio.us again, and our servers are slightly overloaded. So I decided to move the screenshot storage to Amazon S3 (Simple Storage Service) to reduce the number of HTTP requests per second and improve the page load times. But the biggest advantage is that the space for screenshots is no longer limited by our 300 GB hard disk. So far, it seems to be working great.
