Hello All,

Following the thread on the CDN, and knowing that soon I'll be working on a site with nearly 7 million users per month and a database nearly 20 GBs in size. I'd like to ask the gurus out there for technologies/modules within Drupal or in the LAMP architecture aimed at huge load sites, I want to try to avoid the problem of "early implementation" which may make some of these technologies unfeasible or hard to implement in the future if not thought out before.

I would suggest you to have a look at pantheon project [1]. Pantheon is an open source project to make drupal more scalable.  It uses pressflow distribution with Varnish, Apache, APC and Solr on cloud. You can either get a mercury AMI instance or create a similar environment in your server [2].
