Case Study: TheServerSide.com: Scaling out, and keeping up to date

TheServerSide.com has gone through many changes over the years. This case study talk goes over the technical problems that occured when management came in and told everyone that we would have to scale the community site across application servers from multiple vendors (BEA, Oracle, Novell, Sun).

Then there was the migration to a .NET front-end for the TSS.NET web community, and most recently was the migration of everything to use Tapestry and JDO, from a traditional EJB system.

Come to have a laugh at some of the problems, and a look at the solutions.
