Description:
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. What's 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 Executives In The Art of Scalability, former eBay CTO Martin L.

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 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. Using their tools and guidance, organizations can systematically overcome obstacles to scalability and achieve unprecedented levels of technical and business performance.
