Scaling the Web
Simple techniques to manage your apps to web scale
About the Book
While the web represents a fantastic oppourtunity for companies to reach huge markets with ease it can present some very real and unique challenges for those looking to succesfully grow their applications to "web scale".
This book, aimed at smaller development teams likely to be found in earlier stage companies but relevent to all, presents some of the common pitfalls and pain points and offers simple solutions based on experience, study and industry best practice.
From the importance of being stateless, through database specific scalling, right up to SOA 101, there should be something here for all but the most eseoteric of applications.
