Description
Design and build scalable web applications quickly
This is a useful roadmap for meeting the rapid demand to deliver scalable applications in a startup environment. With a focal point on core concepts and best practices somewhat than on individual languages, platforms, or technologies, Web Scalability for Startup Engineers describes how infrastructure and software architecture work together to improve a scalable environment.
You’ll learn, step-by-step, how scalable systems work and how to solve common challenges. Helpful diagrams are included all through, and real-world examples illustrate the concepts presented. Despite the fact that you have limited time and resources, you’ll successfully develop and deliver robust, scalable web applications with lend a hand from this practical guide.
- Learn the key principles of good software design required for scalable systems
- Build the front-end layer to sustain the highest levels of concurrency and request rates
- Design and develop web services and products, including REST-ful APIs
- Enable a horizontally scalable data layer
- Implement caching best practices
- Leverage asynchronous processing, messaging, and event-driven architecture
- Structure, index, and store data for optimized search
- Explore other aspects of scalability, such as automation, project management, and agile teams
