PostRank has created a graphical explanation of the enormous amount of data it collected in 2010 – and right down to the per-second crunching of billions of bytes. Take a look.

“Tens of gigabytes of new data to process and index each day, an internal processing pipeline which crunches through thousands of jobs each second, and a sustained rate of over 500 API requests every second to power our partners applications and our own! All of that, with a team of 14 people (8 engineers), and of course, a lot of coffee – fun times.”
