Scalable Web Architectures: Common Patterns and Approaches
Everyone’s doing it—the poster children for “Web 2.0” are built on top of the LAMP stack. The next generation of web-based applications are built with free tools, with few people understanding the best way to scale these applications out. But patterns emerged very early on—all of these applications share some common architectural principles that seem to be working.
In this brief state-of-the-world, we’ll look at the various approaches to scalable internet application architectures and what we can learn from them.

Cal is a great presenter. Material was pretty high level. Perhaps good for the un-initiated. Would have liked to hear more specifics on overcoming data synchronziation issues as DB server load expands.
I got a lot out of this session, but I was hoping for even more detail. It would be worthwhile to do a whole day on this topic alone and get into specifics about data replication and scaling.
Cal did a very good job with the presentation.
Material is very high level, good as an intro, but I was expecting some more in-depth coverage. Perhaps the sessions can be labeled as such, so one is able to choose them based on one's experience level.
Speaker was very good.
In a word, awesome. Cal covered a huge amount of material in a very short 3 hours. I gathered many good ideas at this presentation.
Great speaker, managed to make dry subjects to be interesting and enjoyable.
