Tim Lossen discusses the challenges of building social games at Wooga including high traffic of 2 million users and 15 million visits per day, and storing large amounts of user data for their 40 million total users. He notes that hot game data needs fast access and questions whether a database is even needed. Lossen also provides recommendations on using Amazon S3 for storage, the JRuby programming language, and challenging assumptions in their systems.
