Webprendedor 2009 - Web Apps Scalability workshop

Posted by Emilio Davis on 11/15/2009 at 12:38 AM

This Nov 20th I will give a talk on the challenge of scalating a web application, main topics will be:

  • Plan to grow: While building your app, ALWAYS consider scalability.
  • Know your technology stack: From the file system to the edge cache.
  • Keep it simple: DB sharding, just say no.
  • Be ready to change: Have you considered NoSQL already?
  • Don't be lazy: Great for prototyping not necesarily means good for production.
  • Performance tunning: chasing the next bottleneck.
