Hi all:
As we work towards learning SCALA, it is prudent to also
appreciate the role SCALA is playing in m:n architectures.
Here is a good overview of Twitter architecture
http://www.infoq.com/news/2009/06/Twitter-ArchitectureThe middleware uses Memcached, Varnish for page caching,
Kestrel, a MQ written in Scala, and a Comet server is in the
works, also written in Scala and used for clients that want to
track a large number of tweets.
Kestrel code is available here

Robey's blog post that discusses kestrel is here
