This article presents techniques for designing Web sites that need to handle large request volumes and provide high availability. The authors present new techniques they developed for keeping cached dynamic data current and synchronizing caches with underlying databases. Many of these techniques were deployed at the official Web site for the 1998 Olympic Winter Games.
