MySpace.com is one of the fastest growing site on the Internet with 65 million subscribers and 260,000 new users registering each day. Often criticized for poor performance, MySpace has had to tackle scalability issues few other sites have faced. How did they do it?

› Ebay don't use SQL joins
I've been reading about ebay's architecture over at highscalability.com and from their research they conclude that ebay do all their data "joining" on application servers rather than using the bottleneck that is a back end database.
The main reason stated for this is "app servers are cheap, databases are the bottleneck". This is a pretty extreme move, but I suppose ebay is a pretty big site, they apparently serve 26 billion sql queries per day, quite a feat.
