Scalability Patterns

Top web sites such as Google and Facebook handle up to one billion visits per day, and a million daily hits or more is commonplace. With the proliferation of all sorts of devices from mobile phones, phablets, tablets and PCs and the ever-increasing number of internet users, scalability of websites is an increasingly important challenge. Businesses can't afford to be down during peak load times. However, scalability, even though highly coveted, may not be easy to achieve.§§In this book Microsoft MVP Chander Dhall, demonstrates current website design scalability patterns and takes a very pragmatic approach to explaining their pros and cons to demonstrate how to select the appropriate pattern for your site. He then tests the patterns by deliberately forcing them to fail to expose potential flaws and design the optimal pattern to match your scale requirements. The author explains the use of polyglot programming and how to match the right patterns to your business needs. He also details several No-Sql patterns and explains the fundamentals of both No-Sql and RDBMS databases to achieve the best results.§§Author Chander Dhall is a Microsoft MVP, Tech Ed Speaker, ASP.NET Insider, Web API Advisor, Dev Chair - DevConnections professional software architect/lead developer, trainer, INETA speaker, open source contributor, community leader and organizer with years of experience in enterprise Software Development.§§
