Chapter 301 Video Sites
PS: Ask for collections, ask for clicks, ask for subscriptions, ask for monthly passes, ask for rewards!
If Suda wants to say that he is most familiar with what mode of online entertainment, it must be a video website.
After all, although Su Da was doing translation work in his previous life, he still had a little understanding of the development model of video websites, and he was familiar with it all day long, although Su Da didn't understand those technical jobs, but when the first video website had not appeared in the whole world, Su Da was confident that with the little thing in his memory, it was enough to occupy this untapped market, not to mention, Su Da was still selfish, no one knew better than him, what kind of big killer the future network media is!
"Video sites?" Li Yunxin looked at Su Da in confusion.
"That's right, it's a video website, with the popularity of computers in recent years, it is foreseeable that the future will give birth to a group of incalculable netizen army, so if there is a network media that allows Internet users to smoothly publish, browse and share video works online, of course, this needs to be supported by a perfect technical platform, video websites can successfully do what I said, and even, we can also open up a TV series, movies, songs, MVs, and other entertainment, film and television markets!"
"Think about it, when we like a TV series very much, but you have a job, you can't put down work to watch it during the time period when it airs, right, not to mention that the replay time has to wait for all the TV series to be played, so what to do with the number of TV episodes missed, not everyone has someone to help record the TV series."
"If we put this TV series on our video website, then it will be much easier for them to watch the TV series, and they don't even have to wait for replays, they don't have to rewatch the episodes they have already watched, and they can directly click on the episode they haven't watched yet."
"It's the same with movies. Not everyone has the time to go to the cinema to watch a movie, after all, everyone only has that time except for their vacation days, but our video site appeared. It's different, you only need a computer with Internet access. He was able to watch movies. ”
"Of course, the above two points, we need to buy copyright, this matter can not be solved overnight, but it takes time to accumulate, and even in terms of copyright, we will definitely pay most of the money, so. Regarding TV series and movies, we will temporarily postpone them, and we will first accumulate popularity through song MVs and some original videos, and the profit in the early stage is estimated to be only in advertising. ”
Li Yunxin frowned and said, "So you mean to say that our video website is just a money-making product in the early stage?" So when will it be truly profitable? Of course, Li Yunxin was not dissatisfied, and she didn't think about making money immediately after doing a career, but she kept losing money, so she had to have a time!
"Wait for our video site to occupy the entire market in South Korea. It's completely profitable, and there are no websites in the world that even exist to run videos, you see. This is a virgin land that has not yet been developed, and we are now taking the lead, to take advantage of the fact that everyone has not yet reacted, to quickly occupy this fast market, because once we launch a video website, then there will be many people to follow suit, so, in the early stage, we have to spend money to occupy the market. As long as there is enough market, then making a profit is not a problem! ”
"Give me some time to think about it!" It's not that Li Yunxin doesn't believe in Su Da. It's that video sites are uncharted territory, as Suda said. It's an untapped field, but not all of the first people to eat cake can grow quickly, and many more just play the role of a usher, and end up being slapped on the beach by the rising stars who come after.
Su Da nodded, he knew that Li Yunxin would not agree immediately, after all, she did not have the memory of her past life that Su Da had in her mind, so Li Yunxin couldn't help but be a little worried and uncertain, not to mention, the model of online entertainment was completely unfamiliar to Li Yunxin, she wanted to check the information in this area and then talk to Su Da.
"Well, but give me news as soon as possible, because time waits for no one, maybe someone will be one step ahead of us tomorrow!"
For three days, Li Yunxin did not come to Suda, but Suda was not idle, he has begun to recruit IT technical talents, these are important reasons why the future video website can not be formed, for this reason, Suda directly found an international headhunter, and began to poach senior engineers of American network companies, technology and talents in the Internet, I have to say, the United States is indeed much stronger than Asia and other countries.
Many people don't know what tools video websites need to achieve!
Let's take the architectural extension of YouTube, the world's largest video site in the future!
One, web server!
YouTube has developed most of its code for the sake of speed of development. The web server is partly Apache, in gi mode. For video content, PD is used. As far as I know, there are some servers that use PD, but not much. YouTube is PD's most successful case.
Second, the video!
The thumbnail of the video poses a big challenge for the server. Each video has an average of 4 thumbnails, and there are multiple on each web page, and the disk IO requests per second are too large because of this. YouTube technicians have enabled separate server groups to take on this pressure, and are partially optimized for cache and OS.
On the other hand, the pressure of thumbnail requests leads to a decrease in PD performance. Adding more worker threads through PD solves the problem to a large extent. The latest solution is to use Google's BigTable, which has better performance in terms of performance and fault-tolerant caching. Looking at the acquisition of others, good steel is used on the blade.
For redundancy reasons, each video file is placed on a set of mini-R's, which are a set of servers with the same content. The most popular videos are placed on CDN, so that your own server only needs to bear some 'leaky' access. YouTube uses simple, cheap, and generic hardware, which is consistent with Google's style. As for maintenance methods, they are also common tools, such as SSH, etc., but people are more familiar with them.
Three. Database!
YouTube uses MySQL to store metadata - user information, video information, etc. The database server once encountered the problem of swap bumps, and the solution was to delete the swap partition! Effective.
The original DB only had 10 hard drives, RAID10. Later, a set of raid1 was added. Save enough. This wave of Web 2.0 companies rarely uses Oracle's. In terms of scalability, the route is also similar to other stops. Replication, decentralization of IO. The final solution is 'partitioning', which is not a database level table partition, but a business level partition!
So what kind of technical talents are needed, thanks to the work on the video site in his previous life, Suda also happens to know nine o'clock!
First, architecture knowledge!
Architecture is an important part of large-scale website development. Developers are already benefiting from website architecture tools from companies like Rails, Django, and others because they can help with repetitive tasks that require some programming knowledge. If you have leading architectural technology. Your career options will be vast.
Second, form widget development!
A form widget is a mini-application that is embedded in a web page, and can usually be downloaded to run on a Windows or Mac desktop. It makes data portable, portable and interactive. More famous ones like S and Aolmusics. In addition to the language knowledge required for web application development, the development of form widgets also requires proficiency in JavaScript and Flash.
3. Content Management System Theme Customization!
In the future, more and more people will start using CMS to build their websites. As you can imagine, it is impossible for everyone to use the default theme provided by the CMS, and in order to make your CMS website unique in terms of design, you need some technical staff who specialize in developing themes for the CMS.
Fourth, the customization of the content management system and the development of plug-ins!
Also with the popularity of CMS, there is an increasing demand for functional customization of CMS as well as plugin development.
5. PSD to XHTML service!
In the process of building a site. Many companies use Shop to design the original image of the website first, and then convert it into XHTML. This requires strong CSS/HTML knowledge.
6. JavaScript plugin development!
JavaScript work is very popular. Because it makes code development for JavaScript simple. For example, if you develop a good plugin based on javascript-work-jquery, then your plugin will become popular as well.
Seven, application development!
K/Two major social networking sites are popular in the United States. Needless to say, developing apps for them must be quite popular, and the same apps for development can always be downloaded in large quantities, so it is also a very lucrative job. Therefore, talents in this area are also very valuable.
Eight. E-commerce integration!
In the future, the cooperation between e-commerce websites and online banking service systems will become closer and closer, so the development of e-commerce trading platforms is also quite promising.
Nine. Knowledge of flash and script!
More and more companies are adopting Flash to make their own websites to showcase their products, because beautiful animations are always easy to catch people's eyes. Therefore, flash animation technology is bound to develop rapidly.
So. Su Da, who has mastered the development process of future technology, believes that when the world has not paid attention to video websites, as long as he does not make too many mistakes, then in the future of online entertainment media, Su Da believes that he will definitely be able to replace the world's largest video website youtube in the future, and stand in the leading position, because Su Da knows the development of video websites, what is needed, and others have to cross the river by feeling the stones!
