Economies of Non-Scale
June 4th, 2008Scalability forces us to think differently. What worked on a small scale doesn’t always work on a large scale — and costs are no different. To measure the cost impact of scaling, let’s look at the amount of resources required…
Nice article on Space-Based Architecture
April 28th, 2008I Just came across a very good article by Clara Ko summarizing the concept behind Space-Based Architecture on Java Pulse. The article is based on our recent white paper Scaling Spring Application In 4 Steps. Clara’s article is available here….
Integrating GigaSpaces persistency service into an existing tier based system
April 23rd, 2008A common issue I’m facing recently is how to integrate existing tier based applications with GigaSpaces persistency service, AKA persistency as a service (Paas) or mirror . The motivation is often a result of the acknowledgment that a standard tier based application fails to scale when facing the database throughput limitation.
Software Caching technologies (overlooking their [...]
Sharing Results of Expensive Computations
March 25th, 2008A customer recently contacted us to discuss how to use GigaSpaces XAP to minimize the number of times an expensive computation must run. The particular domain is option price stress testing, but the problem is more general and the solution demonstrates a couple of interesting GigaSpaces XAP features.
Consider a service that executes an expensive [...]
Scaling out your tier based application in three steps - Now online
March 17th, 2008A while back I wrote Architecture You Always Wondered About: Lessons Learned at Qcon, where i summarized some of the lessons learned from the Amazon, eBay, Yahoo and LinkedIn architectures, which enabled them to address their scalability requirements. During that…
