you can look at various MVC-based frameworks. they are by default modular.
leej··on MS just announced some pretty awesome stuff for the Xbox
It seems like there is no release date or price info but anyway demo is very cool.
leej··on Evaluating key-value and document stores for short read data
i dont get it why does each datastore needs a tyrant process running. anyway...

OTOH, he can do that in any rdbms because he does not have large number of simultenous users.

leej··on What database would you use to store (min) 10 billion objects?
Those numbers are probably from non-real world benchmark tests of sequential read/write. You probably never reach to those levels and when put TT to the equation # will decrease even more.
leej··on VPS Comparison between Slicehost and Prgmr: is an $8 instance as good as a $20 one?
so why do they charge $199 per month for core2duo with 2 gb ram and 250 gb sata? i really dont get it. server prices are this low but cost for dedicated servers are very high.

lsc, can you say a bit more about your # of VPSs per box, average cpu usage by user and disk contention. in your system if there is available extra cpu and one user wants that he cant, can he? your prices seem to be too good to be true comparing to others. is there any drawback?

leej··on MySQL and Sphinx at Craigslist (presentation by Jeremy Zawodny)
Did/Will you make your patches open source?
leej··on NGINX + PHP-FPM + APC = Awesome
Main advantage is that APC will be included by default in PHP6.

leej··on Ask YC: Why are SSL certificates so expensive?
@moe we all understand what you're saying but nickf has nothing to do with this thing. your logic applies better to lots of other companies but here is hacker news so please..

@nickf i will buy an SSL certificate i need your advice. my needs are it should not ask any security alert dialog boxes and supports FF, Safari, Opera and IE. that's all. does those 20$ range ones work for me or what is your suggestion?

one more question how does insurance work? Merchant accounst also have insurance. Are these same? Please explain this too.

leej··on Sorting in key-value data model
I have an idea about (more) persistent storage. I am not sure this is technically possible but anyway. How about setting up a cron job and running a backup script which get and save to disk the live content of the db at that moment? The format of this backup file may be CSV, SQL or native Redis one. What do you say?
leej··on Introducing Redis: a fast key-value database
Are you using Redis in a high traffic and/or production environment?
leej··on Sorting in key-value data model
if you compare Redis to Tokyo Cabinet what are the advantages/disadvantages? One may be TC is stress tested by many.

docs are a great start but i hope antirez will extend the horizontal scaling/consistent hashing topic a little bit more.

one more thing example code with short explantions is much better.

Kudos for PHP support!

leej··on GW-Basic creator Greg Whitten on Joel Spolsky and other MS things
If BillG has eaten lots of lunches with him then he should have been some guy for BillG and Co at least.
leej··on Why TV Lost
I respect points he made but it was Media Metrix or something like that has reported that hours watched has reached a new all time high.

Another contradictory point is there is IPTV. TV stations can deliver customized programmes with this.

leej··on LightCloud: Distributed key-value database built on Tokyo Tyrant
Tokyo Tyrant has different kinds of databases LightCloud has support for all? I think so but just be sure.

Do you have any plans for developing a PHP API for LightCloud?

Thanks for your excellent work. I hope documentation will be improved.

leej··on Tokyo Cabinet DB: Beyond Key-Value Store
