Give the DB a break!: Performance and Scalability
Rocky Mountain Software Symposium
Denver · May 13 - 15, 2005
About this Presentation
What do we really mean by “performance” and “scalability”? This talk gets into the meat of problems which cause our applications to degrade. We will focus on issues such as problems caused by the database being a bottleneck for our application, and see how we can architect our solutions to bypass the issues, resulting in a solid system which scales with the increased load.
Not only will we look at the factors, but I will delve into a couple of case studies to show how real world problems were solved!
