Theo Schlossnagle will, once again, hit the road to deliver a session on Scalable Internet Architectures in QCon's Industrial-Strength Architecture for Integration and Web Computing track. He'll discuss the design principles of building highly scalable, resilient, and high-performance, Internet-facing systems. He'll walk attendees through the stack, from networking up to the application level, providing examples of how to do things right, and the consequences of doing them wrong. Examples will be drawn from network redundancy, caching, web app performance, database systems and service decoupling. Theo will also participate in a panel discussion on outsourcing. This is a well-known concept among managers for saving money in software development, but among developers, it is a different story. Theo and other panelists will share case studies and experiences on the infrastructure required for effective multi-sourcing. if you're in the area, you won't want to miss this event.
