Architecting for the cloud designing for scalability in cloud-based applications
An AppDynamics Business White Paper The biggest difference between cloud-based applications and the applications running in your data center is scalability. The cloud offers scalability on demand, allowing you to expand and contract your application as load fluctuates. This scalability is what makes the cloud appealing, but it can’t be achieved by simply lifting your existing application to the cloud. In order to take advantage of what the cloud has to offer, you need to re-architect your application around scalability. In this paper we’ll look at what a highly scalable cloud-based application might look like and what strategies you can use to design an application for the cloud.
