With this resource, readers will learn how to take what some call the "poor man's web technologies"--Linux, Apache, MySQL, and PHP or other scripting languages--and scale them to compete with established "store bought" enterprise web technologies.

Summary

From the back cover: "Learn the tricks of the trade so you can build and architect applications that scale quickly - without all the high-priced headaches and service-level agreements associated with enterprise app servers and proprietary programming and database products. Culled from the experience of the [flickr.com][1] lead developer, *Building Scalable Websites* offers techniques for creating fast sites that your users will enjoy." [1]: http://flickr.com

From the publisher

Learn the tricks of the trade so you can build and architect applications that scale quickly--without all the high-priced headaches and service-level agreements associated with enterprise app servers and proprietary programming and database products. Culled from the experience of the Flickr.com lead developer, Building Scalable Web Sites offers techniques for creating fast sites that your visitors will find a pleasure to use.

Creating popular sites requires much more than fast hardware with lots of memory and hard drive space. It requires thinking about how to grow over time, how to make the same resources accessible to audiences with different expectations, and how to have a team of developers work on a site without creating new problems for visitors and for each other.

Presenting information to visitors from all over the world

* Integrating email with your web applications

* Planning hardware purchases and hosting options to have as much as you need without breaking your wallet

* Partitioning and distributing databases to support large datasets and simultaneous transactions

* Monitoring your applications to find and clear bottlenecks

* Providing services APIs and using services from other providers to increase your site's reach and capabilities

Whether you're starting a small web site with hopes of growing big or you already have a large system that needs maintenance, you'll find Building Scalable Web Sites to be a library of ideas for making things work.

About the author

Cal Henderson has been a web applications developer for far too long and should really start looking for a serious job. Originally from England, he currently works at Yahoo!

By night he works for a whole slew of web sites and communities, including the creative community B3TA and his personal site, iamcal. In his spare time, he writes windows software, develops web publishing tools, and writes occasional articles about web application development and security.
