Creating a scalable solution is crucial for the success of UI (User Interface), API (Application Programming Interface), and backend systems. Scalability ensures that the system can handle increasing workloads, user demands, and data volumes without compromising performance or user experience. Scaling is important because it allows applications to grow and adapt to changing requirements, handle increased traffic, and provide a reliable and responsive experience to users.
This presentation elucidates various methodologies for scaling your application effectively. It covers critical topics such as the CAP theorem, Fallacies of Distributed Computing, vertical partitioning, horizontal scaling, separating sets, caching, HTTP accelerators, and the comparison between NoSQL and Relational databases. By exploring these subjects, you will gain a comprehensive understanding of the techniques and considerations involved in creating a scalable application.
