    Web Application Scalability - Introduction

    Uploaded by

    fizo
    This document discusses techniques for scaling a web application, including shared-nothing architecture, measuring success through scalability, flexibility and responsiveness, and case studies. It provides recommendations to improve responsiveness such as making fewer HTTP requests by combining files, using content delivery networks to distribute data, leveraging caching with expires headers, and both server-side and client-side caching.

    Sorry… No Agenda for this Session

    SN…Stands for Shared-Nothing


    Measure of Success
    • Scalability.
    • Flexibility.
    • Responsiveness.
    Flexibility

    Just forget about it….


    Responsiveness

    • Time taken to load a webpage on a


    browser.

    • Whatever it takes , we should


    measure it, and improve it if it’s
    necessary.
