BeeIMG in 2015

Happy New Year All! Hope you earned the new year badge. (time zones doesn't matter)



Go back to how we looked at the feb 9 2015. Nothing much changed right?



In this year we have hosted more than 18,000 images, have served close to 71 million image views, using 16 TB of bandwidth. According to Google analytics we had 36,979 page views in 2014 and most users are from USA followed by Russia.






























2014 Dec 2015 Dec Increase
Images 11,000 18,000 +7,000
Image views 65 million 71 million +6 million
Bandwidth 12 TB 16 TB +4 TB


Looking back at 2015, the growth was decreased. but we added IPv6 and HTTP2 support and upgraded our upload page. In the backend we moved from apache to lighttpd and nginx in order lower the server load. When switching to nginx we added support for real time image views too. also we upgraded to the very new & fast PHP7!



In the coming year the development of the site will be greatly reduced. we are currently working on the new image view page. (we'll fix bugs!!)



if you want read our last year's post.



Thank you for everyone who used our site are shared images in 2015.
Thank you!

However the impact on the service was minimal and the maintenance on our CDG node affected our service as its where our databases is hosted. After the maintenance the db server had been moved to under performing hypervisor and started to slow down the site. We had to move the server again to a better server. Forward to December, one on of our free customers started hitting with lot of image view per second and this overloaded memory on AMS server and to redis node to fail. Making maters worse AMS server ran out of disk space. when a fail over to CDG happened the traffic overload that servers redis node and caused the service to fail. The site served 503 errors durin...

Recent Hiccups May 2016

We faced some blackouts recently, and it was because we got very popular in china. The images that was generating lot of traffic were violating our TOS, but as they were generating lot of traffic and I thought it was a good time to stress test our image delivery systems. At first we were handling the load fine. after some time our redis server start acting wired. the issue was with dumping the db to disk, but as the images were generating lot of data the redis server crashed. we started to migrate the all gif images to be served by our CDN while still collecting views data. but at some point our real time stats handling script started to fail due to redis connection issues. after that the data started to collect and the redis server crashed every time it was started. While all that was happening we noticed that our php front end started throwing errors. this was due the connectivity issues to our redis server. The image serving end do not use redis server and was not afflicted. its usi...
