Title:
Architecture Patterns for Scaling (in the cloud or otherwise)
Abstract:
Building applications that are "cloud-native" means cloud reliability and cloud scale. What are some of the key ideas and patterns for building cloud-native applications? This talk will cover scalability concepts and see how they can be applied to computation and data scaling. While the concepts are general - and apply even to non-cloud systems - examples in this talk will emphasize the Windows Azure cloud platform from Microsoft.
