Rebirth 2010: I taught Mr. Lei how to make a mobile phone

Chapter 76 Server: Who will save me! (Please read!)
An employee who looked like a tech geek came to the workstation of a man with a big head and a slightly bald head.
"Brother Xing, we have found the reason for the increase in traffic. Some of the access requests come from the same website!"

“Which website?”

The employee pointed at the report on Wang Xing's computer screen and trembled, "This is it, this is Tuan 123."

“Oh, I see~” Wang Xing clicked on the hyperlink in the report, and a pop-up window jumped to the Tuan123 website.

The website looks simple as a whole. Each page only displays 20 group purchase information, and then you keep turning the pages.

However, there are only two pieces of data on the homepage of Meituan.com’s group buying information, which are ranked 5th for the group buying of movie tickets at a certain cinema and 12th for the group buying of meal packages at a certain restaurant.

But judging from various data, purchase volume, and time, the ranking should be higher.

This is only in Beijing. In other cities, Meituan's ranking is also different.

How is this sorting rule arranged?

This seemed like a world problem that troubled Wang Xing. He then gave up thinking on his own and issued an order.
"The technical staff will continue to check the sorting rules of this group 123, and then talk to the operation staff to have them contact this website to see if they can cooperate!"

"understand!"

"Go ahead." Wang Xing waved his hand.

The founding of Meituan was the one that Wang Xing believed had the highest chance of success since his repeated failures in starting a business.

However, in terms of funding scale, he cannot compare with 55tuan and Lashou.

Moreover, the frequent obstructions in the offline market and the poaching of local sites have made it difficult for Meituan during this period.

Currently, Meituan ranks at the end of the first tier. It can only choose to accumulate resources and slowly become the king, and then act when the time is right.

The appearance of Group 123 today made him feel that there might be some opportunity.

At this time, a guy named Wu Xinran, who had worked at Microsoft before and currently works at Intel China, also paid attention to Tuan123.

This new group-buying navigation model made his eyes light up and suddenly he was enlightened. Looking at the simple functions and pages of Tuan123, he felt that he could do it too.

He then found Hu Chen, an Internet veteran who had worked at Renren and was also his college classmate. The two of them got together and began to build a technical team to create a new and powerful group buying navigation website modeled after Tuan123.

He has already thought of a name. Why don't you call yourself Tuan 123? I'll call myself Tuan 800!

During this period, the first thing Chen Mo and Sun Ziwei did after get off work every day was to look at the data of the Tuan123 website which was soaring every day.

Then I spent all my spare time tinkering with the first phase of the team-building network, racing against time.

After three days of rush preparation, the two finally got the team-building website online, and also temporarily put two website themes on the shelves for selling money.

However, the two were a little confused about the pricing of the website theme.

"What do you think is a good price for our theme?"

Chen Mo thought for a moment and said, "How about 1 first?"

“Isn’t it too expensive? Who would spend 10,000 yuan to buy a website theme?”

"I just checked and found that the outsourcing price of group buying websites usually starts at 10 yuan. Our website building is free, and the website theme is a value-added service. The quality of this theme is average, and 1 yuan is just to test the waters."

Sun Ziwei suddenly had an idea and thought of the equipment system of World of Warcraft. "If we regard the website theme as game equipment, then these two themes can be considered epic at best. Can we make them legendary or mythical?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Mo couldn't help but feel relieved that his son has grown up. "Let's make a limited theme and only sell one copy. Then we can add an auction function in the system. But that's a matter for later. Let's see the effect of the trial theme first. If we don't make money, our server will not be able to bear it." After confirming that everything was fine, the two of them made some revisions and finally checked and tested it. After confirming that there were no problems, they put the team building website online.

Refreshing the Tuan123 website again, I saw a striking line of information at the bottom.

"Proudly produced by Bi'an Studio: Tuanjian.com (the group buying website building expert beside you!)"

After the launch, the two did not take a breath. Sun Ziwei continued to develop new website theme content. Since the foundation had already been built and it was just a matter of changing the skin, it was still very easy.

He was only responsible for getting the basic functions right, and then trying to do the art production. The rest needed Chen Mo to polish and perfect it.

Perhaps it was because he had been hanging out with Chen Mo for too long, Sun Ziwei unknowingly felt that he was developing into a full-stack engineer.

Chen Mo was looking at the feedback and suggestions from website users over this period of time.

Overall, they can be divided into several categories. One is eulogistic, praising the benefits the website has brought to them.

The first type is to offer opinions and suggestions, hoping that the website can launch various functions they need. Many suggestions have already been included in the second phase of planning.

In the past two days, there is a new voice, that is, some group buying websites are asking for cooperation and contact.

Some websites even vaguely expressed their desire to improve their ranking on Tuan123.

Chen Mo looked at it and laughed. He could finally see the money he made back.

There are now two ways of sorting on Tuan123, popular and latest. When users come in, they are sorted by popularity by default, but the right of interpretation of how the popularity is calculated lies with Chen Mo.

If the sorting rules are not transparent, there will be a lot of room for manipulation.

Chen Mo wrote down the contact information of several well-known group buying websites, including Meituan, 24quan and Lashou. Just when he was about to call them to communicate, he saw that it was almost 10 o'clock in the evening.

Forget it, don’t talk about work after get off work, otherwise you will be annoying.

The main thing is that it is more reliable to talk about this matter face to face!
Before going to bed, Chen Mo looked at the server load which was rising every day like the water level.

The current server load has increased from 50% to 80%. Damn, are you going to be so crazy? Do all the people in China know about Tuan 123?

The request types of general websites are nothing more than the four types of addition, deletion, modification and query, namely addition, deletion, modification and query.

Fortunately, the website currently provides simple data query and page caching, and the computer room also has corresponding caching technology to support such a large amount of traffic.

We did not dare to launch the second phase of Tuan123. Otherwise, once the collection, comment, user center, advanced query and other modules were launched, a large number of requests for addition, deletion and modification would come flooding in, and server crash would be the only outcome.

Even if the second phase is not online, Chen Mo doesn't know which will come first, the server downtime or the first pot of gold.
Before going to bed, he activated the load preprocessing mechanism he had prepared earlier.

That is to say, once the server reaches the 85% critical value, in order to ensure the overall stability of the website, the excess user requests will be blocked.

A week ago he was sighing every day about the lack of traffic, and now he is worried about the explosion of traffic.

This situation of ice and fire really makes him speechless!
The next day, around 12 noon, was the peak time for the Tuan123 website.

When people opened the Tuan123 website as usual, a small number of them found that a prompt box popped up asking them to wait in line.

What's going on? I have to queue up to visit a website? Is this fair?
One of the buddies looked at his colleague next to him and found that he could access Group 123 normally, but he just opened it a few minutes earlier than him.

Looking at the prompt box in front of him, this buddy recalled the scene a few years ago when he went to the Internet cafe to play WOW all night and had to queue up until 2 a.m. to enter the game.

The memory of the dead comes back again.
