Large-Scale CFML

Sunday February 26, 9:00 am - 10:00 am

Have you ever wondered how the big boys of the internet scale their sites?  Have you ever wondered what it takes to make a site that handles billions of requests?  At aw2.0, we've architected such systems that rank, traffic wise, in the Top 20 of the worlds web sites.

You will learn first hand what it takes to drive this volume of sites and how you can construct your CFML apps in such a way to be easily scalable both up and down.   Discover how to leverage the cloud and when it makes sense to stay with bare-metal for your processing requirements.

Most manage maybe up to 10 servers with no problems.  But what rules come into play when you are managing over 100 servers?  The techniques pioneered for this scale can be applied to smaller setups equally as well.
