I worked a long time ago on BBC News (15+ years) and compiled redirects.
IIRC was a massive apache rewrite rules config (and associated acceptance tests to confirm correct source/dest and no looping).

Since then I worked on sites that had compressed 10 sites to 1, and regularly re-routed "for SEO purposes" (sigh).
Started out as nginx with a lua block that connected to redis. couple of layers of checks for exact match full url as key, then partial match on url prefix, the final domain only match.

final iteration was similar but using dynamodb instead of redis.

We had about 11 million redirects in redis for scale.

Anybody up for a Charterhouse Rules chat about how their companies technical implementation to maintain good routing over multiple historic approaches to domains, subdomains, paths and routes?

As companies grow approaches change and I don't want to end up in a choice between the poor UX of old links not working and technical spaghetti.

BBC does this brilliantly, news.bbc.co.uk still correctly 301s to the new address.
I don't have good hashtags for this. #dns #techarchitecture #routing

We just reached the end if the last days of @RuthMalan System Design course, and is was exceptional 🎉

I mean, of course Ruth is a well of knowledge on systemic and technical architecture design, and her slides+context by themselves are worth the cost of the training. They are just amazing, a succession of pearls distilling the vast knowledge of that broad field. Look by yourself!.

But in addition, I spent 6 days doing group work with an amazing team - that said from someone for whom even anticipating social interactions is burning energy like the sun -, and I practiced a lot of unfamiliar tools that gave shape to intuitions, the kind of "actually that's that you're looking for and you forgot all these parts in your attempt" feedback you get when you're at the beginning of a learning curve.

Thank you Ruth for having organized and shepherded that meeting!
