Designing Your Application to Scale

Learn the concepts, benefits and challenges of scale-out application design. Partitioning your app, your data, introducing the concept of roles and dealing with inconsistent state across the system are all topics we cover. We use a lot of examples of how we've built several of the cloud services, the patterns that have emerged from different scenarios, as well as tell you how to get going on this with your application today.
