Core focus and need varies by industryYet there are core commonalities across all industriesSoftLayer, an IBM Company
Key design considerationsPerformance and scalability is achieved through solid designWhy is scalability so hard? It can’t be an after-thought. It requiresapplications and platforms designed with scaling in mind.Is achieving good scalability possible? Absolutely, but only if wearchitect and engineer our systems to take scalability into account.Simply throwing additional CPU cycles or storage at an application isnot going to deliver linear scalability unless the application wasdesigned to scale in such a manner.SoftLayer, an IBM Company
Key design considerationsPerformance and scalability is achieved through solid designStateless and async. One of the guiding principles for linearscalability is to have lightweight, independent, statelessoperations that can be executed anywhere and run on newlydeployed threads/processes/cores/machines transparently asneeded in order to service an increasing number of requests.Share nothing.Testing async code can be non-trivial. Test coverage should bepursued early (as in at the start). Test early, test continuously.SoftLayer, an IBM Company
Key design considerationsPerformance and scalability is achieved through solid designEliminate choke points. Everything that has to be coordinated by asingle machine, or even a single cluster, is a failure waiting tohappen.I/O constraints. Typically network and storage.Architecture, design, and/or implementation flaws. Try to find themintentionally, not accidentally.Expect failure. Distributed applications and services are comprisedof a lot of moving parts, each of which are prone to fail in their ownway. Understand the potential failure points and architect yourmission critical resources to survive.SoftLayer, an IBM Company
