Introduction: Professor David Malan gives a very good lecture on scalability for dynamic websites. It's not highly technical, it's an extension course, but it's a great introduction to a wide variety of topics. I really like his teaching style. He continually asks questions, prompts for input, and gives accessible explanations. Some of the topics covered: vertical scaling; horizontal scaling; PHP acceleration; load balancing: DNS, L7, sticky sessions, load balancers; caching; MySQL: replication, load balancing, partitioning, high availability. Watch it on Academic Earth This is one lecture in a series of 13 lectures on building dynamic websites. Students learn how to:  build dynamic websites  with  Ajax  and with  Linux ,  Apache ,  MySQL , and  PHP  ( LAMP ); set up  domain names  with  DNS ;  structure pages  with  XHTML  and  CSS  how to  program  in  JavaScript  and  PHP ;  configure Apache and  MySQL ; design and  query databases  with  SQL ; use  Ajax  with both  XML  and JSON ;

Introduction: By George Palmer of 3dogsbark.com. Covers: * How you start out: shared hosting, web server DB on same machine. Move two 2 machines. Minimal code changes. * Scaling the database. Add read slaves on their own machines. Then master-master setup. Still minimal code changes. * Scaling the web server. Load balance against multiple application servers. Application servers scale but the database doesn't. * User clusters. Partition and allocate users to their own dedicated cluster. Requires substantial code changes. * Caching. A large percentage of hits are read only. Use reverse proxy, memcached, and language specific cache. * Elastic architectures. Based on Amazon EC2. Start and stop instances on demand. For global applications keep a cache on each continent, assign users to clusters by location, maintain app servers on each continent, use transaction replication software if you must replicate your site globally.

2 0.96482611 240 high scalability-2008-02-05-Handling of Session for a site running from more than 1 data center

Introduction: If using a DB to store session(used by some app server, ex.. websphere), how would an enterprise class site that is housed in 2 different data centers(that are live/live) maintain the session between both data centers. The problem as I see it is that since each data center has their own session database, if I was to flip the users to only access Data Center 1(by changing the DNS records for the site or some other Load balancing technique) then that would cause all previous Data Center 2 users to lose their session. What would be some pure hardware based solutions to this that are being used now? That way the applications supporting the web site can be abstracted from this. As I see now, a solution is to possibly have the session databases in both centers some how replicate the data to each other. I just don't see the best way to even accomplish this you are not even guraunteed that the session ID's will be unique since it's 2 different Application Server tiers(again websphere)

Introduction: At the heart of every software adventure exists a journey in service of a quest. Melodramatic much? Sorry, but while wandering dazzled through Race to the End of the Earth , a fantastic exhibit at the Royal BC Museum on the 1911-1912 race to the South Pole between Norwegian explorer Roald Amundsen and British naval officer Robert Scott , I couldn’t help but think of the two radically different approaches each team took to the race and it shocked me to see that some of the same principles that lead to success or failure in software development also seem to lead to success or failure in exploration. I wish I could reproduce the experience of walking through the exhibit . Plaque after plaque I remember wondering out loud at Scott’s choices and then nod in agreement with Amundsen’s approach. The core conflict was straight out of any ancient Agile (Amundsen) vs Waterfall (Scott) thread you can find on Usenet. And Waterfall lost. As background here are some sources you may want

Introduction: Brian Zimmer, architect at travel startup Yapta, highlights some worst practices jeopardizing the growth and scalability of a system: * The Golden Hammer. Forcing a particular technology to work in ways it was not intended is sometimes counter-productive. Using a database to store key-value pairs is one example. Another example is using threads to program for concurrency. * Resource Abuse. Manage the availability of shared resources because when they fail, by definition, their failure is experienced pervasively rather than in isolation. For example, connection management to the database through a thread pool. * Big Ball of Mud. Failure to manage dependencies inhibits agility and scalability. * Everything or Something. In both code and application dependency management, the worst practice is not understanding the relationships and formulating a model to facilitate their management. Failure to enforce diligent control is a contributing scalability inhibiter. * Forgetting to che
