Don't Bet on Moore Saving Your Ass

I'm very interested in book recommendations for scaling websites from hundreds of users to millions of users. I'm interested in both database and web server configurations as well as hardware details, and war stories from the trenches. Also, I'd like to know if there bits of wisdom I can incorporate into my 1.0 codebase to make scaling easier should I be fortunate enough to have that problem.

Ideas from the HN crowd?

Reading articles and watching videos from the engineering teams of big sites is interesting, though not always easily applicable.

For example, the Facebook Engineering Blog (http://www.facebook.com/eblog) or Google Tech Talks (http://au.youtube.com/results?search_query=google+tech+talk+...).
