50 practical rules for scaling technology platforms, organizations, and processes - with all the expert insights needed to apply them

An indispensable resource for every engineer, architect, and manager who must ensure scalability.
Easy to read and use: demystifies scalability best practices that were previously too complex for many readers.
Technology agnostic: applicable in any environment.
By the world-class experts who wrote A-W's authoritative - The Art of Scalability
Today, IT organizations must provide unprecedented levels of scalability. However, scalability has traditionally been viewed as highly complex: a 'black art' difficult to implement and manage. Scalability Rules compiles today's most valuable best practices into a set of simple, numbered rules - and backs them with concise, real-world information and insights for real-world application. Written by leading experts who've personally scaled sites such as eBay and PayPal, Scalability Rules is ideal as a primer, refresher, and reference for engineers, architects, and managers at all levels of experience. Technology agnostic, it teaches principles for supporting hypergrowth in nearly any technology platform or environment. Its 'straight to the point' coverage includes:

Simplifying architectures and avoiding 'over-engineering'.
Scaling out, not up.
Using databases appropriately.
Incorporating firewalls without compromising performance.
Avoiding costly redirects and entity relationships.
Fully leveraging CDNs and caching.
Designing for rollback and higher availability.
Efficiently handling state.
Scaling message buses and communication.
Scaling through third parties.
Handling storage, business intelligence, and more
