The biggest take-away that I had from it is that scaling is NOT just about how long the server takes to handle a web request. You need to take into account the client-side compute time, the number of web requests your application makes, your bandwidth, the average size of each web request, how long it takes to go from the client to server (ping), and the number of concurrent requests the browser is able to make (hint: it defaults to 3). In order to measure your usage and figure out how to scale, you need to be able to measure all of these things. http://ayende.com/3512/a-question-of-scale#comment1http://ayende.com/3512/a-question-of-scale#comment1Mon, 11 Aug 2008 22:23:14 GMT
