Title: Web Scalability for Startup Engineers
Authors: Artur Ejsmont JULY 2015 | 9780071843652 | Cover: Paperback | Subject: Programming
and Web Development | Pages: 416 | Illustrations: 150 | UK Price: 36.99 | Euro Price: 45.99 | SA$ Price: 50.00 | Imprint: OSBORNE
Gain practical knowledge for addressing common web application scalability challenges with this roadmap geared to the startup engineer.
Web scalability is the ability to scale an application (to handle more or less) based on the current product needs/traffic. An application's scalability has a direct impact on its success - by how well (or
poorly) it manages the user experience, how it drives costs, and how well (or poorly) it responds to demand. The number of engineers facing scalability challenges is increasing rapidly with the explosion of mobile and web apps demand, and while the core concepts driving a scalable architecture are language and platform agnostic, the knowledge gap in this area is substantial - potentially negatively impacting thousands upon thousands of businesses. Those most at risk are for scalability failures are startups, hiring bright engineers with limited real-world experience. Unfortunately, without direct mentorship, the concepts and techniques of web scalability are often learned only through the experience of failed projects.
Web Scalability for Startup Engineers helps the startup engineer avoid these failures by providing a
roadmap for successfully scaling web applications. The book covers scalability of HTTP-based systems
(web sites, REST APIs, SaaS and mobile application backends), starting with a high-level perspective before taking a deep dive into common challenges and issues. This approach builds a holistic view of the problem - helping the engineer see the ‘big picture’ - then introduces different technologies and best practices for solving the problem at hand. The book is enriched with the author's real-world experience and expert advice, saving the reader precious time and effort by learning from others' mistakes and best practices.
Audience
Web developers and Software engineers working in start-ups or smaller companies who are ready to take the next step in their career but lack hands-on experience with large systems
