Abstract:
I went from sleeping in front of my laptop everynight, rolling over to restart Apache at 3AM, to automagically scaling servers from my phone. Learn the harsh realities of scaling a web app (hint: your code doesn't matter) in this fast paced talk as you walk through scaling best practices for each layer of the stack.
