It's a book that every web developer working with big sites should have in his desktop. The best practices listed below are the keys to building out scalable websites that easily adapt to growing markets and products/niches. €�Building Scalable Websites” is one of those tech books that is really hot around Silicon Valley. I should have clarified that I am not looking to build scalable websites (unless someone shows how to respond to a million hits per second on a dual or quad core machine). Oddly enough, I had such an experience when I read “Building Scalable Websites” by Flickr CTO Cal Henderson. Cal Henderson, chief geek at Flickr, wrote an O'Reilly book about making big websites. Building Scalable Web Sites is for developers who plan on creating a site visited by millions of people. When Building Scalable Web Sites came out earlier this year (written by Cal Henderson of Flickr) I was immediately interested because I'm totally fascinated with the architecture of very large scale systems. Your sites need to be built to withstand the problems success creates. It teaches readers what Flickr learned on its way from small site to cultural icon. Big as in, serving millions of page views a day.
