Review:
I am sharing a small practical example to illustrate the worth of this beautiful book! I recently joined a company which is the leader in web application acceleration and performance management, streaming media services and content delivery. Many of the rules in this collection helped me to grasp the scalability architecture and principles at my new job very quickly, few are listed below:
Rule 4 — Reduce DNS Lookups
Chapter 6 — Using Caching Aggressively (several rules)
Rule 16 — Actively Use Log Files
Rule 29 — Failing to Design for Rollback Is Designing for Failure
The fact is if you consider yourself a scalability/infrastructure/cloud architect or manager, this book is a must. I have experienced first hand the rule of “Failing to Design for Rollback Is Designing for Failure” … so I have deep appreciation of the authors great service in codifying the technical-management scalability framework.
