A Comprehensive, Proven Approach to IT Scalability from Two Veteran Software, Technology, and Business Executives In The Art of Scalability, AKF Partners cofounders Martin L. Abbott and Michael T. Fisher cover everything IT and business leaders must know to build technology infrastructures that can scale smoothly to meet any business requirement. Drawing on their unparalleled experience managing some of the world's highest-transaction-volume Web sites, the authors provide detailed models a A Comprehensive, Proven Approach to IT Scalability from Two Veteran Software, Technology, and Business Executives In The Art of Scalability, AKF Partners cofounders Martin L. Abbott and Michael T. Fisher cover everything IT and business leaders must know to build technology infrastructures that can scale smoothly to meet any business requirement. Drawing on their unparalleled experience managing some of the world's highest-transaction-volume Web sites, the authors provide detailed models and best-practice approaches available in no other book. Unlike previous books on scalability, The Art of Scalability doesn't limit its coverage to technology. Writing for both technical and nontechnical decision-makers, this book covers everything that impacts scalability, including architecture, processes, people, and organizations. Throughout, the authors address a broad spectrum of real-world challenges, from performance testing to IT governance. Using their tools and guidance, organizations can systematically overcome obstacles to scalability and achieve unprecedented levels of technical and business performance. Coverage includes Staffing the scalable organization: essential organizational, management, and leadership skills for technical leaders Building processes for scale: process lessons from hyper-growth companies, from technical issue resolution to crisis management Making better "build versus buy" decisions Architecting scalable solutions: powerful proprietary models for identifying scalability needs and choosing the best approaches to meet them Optimizing performance through caching, application and database splitting, and asynchronous design Scalability techniques for emerging technologies, including clouds and grids Planning for rapid data growth and new data centers Evolving monitoring strategies to tightly align with customer requirements Web Site Design, Web Development, The Art of Scalability: Scalable Web Architecture, Processes, and Organizations for the Modern Enterprise~~ Abbott, Martin L.~~Web Site Design~~Web Development~~9780137031382, en, The Art of Scalability: Scalable Web Architecture, Processes, and Organizations for the Modern Enterprise, Abbott, Martin L., 9780137031382, Addison-Wesley Professional, 11/01/2009, , , , Addison-Wesley Professional, 11/01/2009<

As a manager who worked under Michael Fisher and Marty Abbott during my time at PayPal/eBay, the opportunity to directly absorb the lessons and experiences presented in this book are invaluable to me now working at Facebook.-Yishan Wong, Director of Engineering, Facebook Abbott and Fisher have deep experiences with scale in both large and small enterprises. Whats unique about their approach to scalability is they start by focusing on the true foundation: people and process, without which true scalability cannot be built.-Geoffrey Weber, VP of Internet Operations/IT, Shutterfly A Comprehensive, Proven Approach to IT Scalability, from Two Veteran Software, Technology, and Business ExecutivesIn The Art of Scalability, former eBay CTO Martin L. Abbott and former PayPal VP Michael T. Fisher cover everything IT and business leaders must know to build technology infrastructures that can scale smoothly to meet any business requirement. Drawing on their unparalleled experience managing some of the worlds highest-transaction-volume Web sites, the authors provide detailed models and best practice approaches available in no other book. Unlike previous books on scalability, The Art of Scalability doesnt limit its coverage to technology. Writing for both technical and non-technical decision-makers, this book covers everything that impacts scalability, including architecture, processes, people, and organizations. Replete with examples, it also presents indispensable metrics-including actual calculations for everything from availability and capacity to load and performance. Throughout, the authors address a broad spectrum of real-world challenges, from performance testing to IT governance.
