Design and build scalable web applications quickly This is an invaluable roadmap for meeting the rapid demand to deliver scalable applications in a startup environment. With a focus on core concepts and best practices rather than on individual languages, platforms, or technologies, Web Scalability for Startup Engineers describes how infrastructure and software architecture work together to support a scalable environment. You'll learn, step by step, how scalable systems work and how to solve common challenges. Helpful diagrams are included throughout, and real-world examples illustrate the concepts presented. Even if you have limited time and resources, you can successfully develop and deliver robust, scalable web applications with help from this practical guide.

• Learn the key principles of good software design required for scalable systems
• Build the front-end layer to sustain the highest levels of concurrency and request rates
• Design and develop web services, including REST-ful APIs
• Enable a horizontally scalable data layer
• Implement caching best practices
• Leverage asynchronous processing, messaging, and event-driven architecture
