I wonder if the big microstock agencies are becoming victims of their own success. Everybody knows about Fotolia. Currently, IS seems to have some problems too (forums closed, no login possible now) and DT just told us that FTP uploads of the last weekend are gone.....

Maybe its time to invest more $$ in IT-equipment and IT-consultancy.

I was able to upload to IS earlier, but can't get to the site at all now.

Agree with the OP, exponential growth is hard to plan for, even with all the hooey about scalability in applciations and platforms. At some point, things break.

IS just issued an explanation:

"......Unfortunately we hit a snag along the way. We ran up against a known bug in mySQL 5 (which is what the site runs on). We simply can't process any more transactions per second........"

mySQL.....thats what I guessed (as an IT veteran with 23 years in business): try to save money on IT and one day you will pay the price......

I don't know anything about large scale database/server implementation.
Why is mySQL not a good choice, and what would be better?

I believe mySQL is open source - free. I guess you get what you pay for.

MySQL is de de facto standard in webhosting. It's not because the software is Open Source and "free" that it is bad. In fact, many OS platforms are better than the proprietary ones. Check how many hosters run on Linux, and how many on Microsoft-driven servers.
