Scalability (In a Nutshell)

The ubiquity of cloud computing services and providers has made it possible for companies of all sizes to do things that weren't possible—or were far too expensive—just 10 years ago; however, many web developers are still new to the concepts cloud computing and scalability. In this session, you will learn the fundamentals of scalable architectures, including what it means to scale up vs. out, principles behind a "twelve-factor app", and the pros and cons of PaaS solutions. You will also learn a little about the Amazon Web Services (AWS) ecosystem and how specific AWS services can be applied within scalable architectures.
