AgendaWhy is it important to scale? Creating a scalable solution (in incremental steps)While (Not Fixed) {Propose an ArchitectureIdentify Failures and BottlenecksIdentify DowntimeApply a better solution

}

Why?

Amazon claim – Just an extra 1/10th of a second on their response times will cost them 1% in sales.Google – ½ a second increase in latency caused traffic to drop by a fifth.

Why is Scalability Important

The website was working great UNTIL we launched

Instagram was down the day they launched it

ConceptsScalability - Number of users / sessions / transactions / operations the entire system can handle

Performance – Optimal utilization of resources

Responsiveness – Time taken per operation

Availability – Probability of the application being available at any given point in time

Downtime Impact - The impact of a downtime of a server/service/resource - number of users, type of impact etc

Section 1: CAP

Chander Dhall

Brewer’s CAP Theorem

Consistency (or more appropriately Atomic)AvailabilityPartition Tolerance

“No set of failures less than total network failure is allowed to cause the system to respond incorrectly” – Gilbert & Lynch

Fallacies of Distributed Computing

Network is reliable. Latency is zero. Bandwidth is infinite. Network is secure. Topology doesn’t change. There is one administrator.

Fallacies of Distributed ComputingTransport cost is zero. Network is homogenous.

Caching

Add caches within App ServerObject CacheSession CacheAPI cachePage cache

SoftwareMemcachedRedis Azure Cache (App Fabric)

HTTP AcceleratorA good HTTP Accelerator / Reverse proxy performs the following –

Redirect static content requests to a lighter HTTP server (lighttpd)Cache content based on rules Use Async Non blocking IO Maintain a limited pool of Keep-alive connections to the App ServerIntelligent load balancing

More Important StuffCDNsIP AnycastingAsync Nonblocking IO (for all Network Servers)If possible - Async Nonblocking IO for diskIncorporate multi-layer caching strategy where required

L1 cache – in-process with App ServerL2 cache – across network boundaryL3 cache – on disk
