I’ve been looking into scalability and high availability a bit. The more I read the scarier it gets. 😉 It’s pretty easy to think the available solutions will solve it all for you, but there’s still important considerations to be made. Found a couple of good introductions in JavaWorld. Although they’re a bit old, I think it all still applies:
- Part 1: Clustering technology is crucial to good Website design; do you know the basics?
- Part 2: Migrate your application from a single machine to a cluster, the easy way
This mostly covers the high availability when running your app. Maintaining availability through application upgrades and redeploys is still a big mystery to me. Feel free to supplement. 🙂

Blogs and careers
Wow, blogs can help your career. I never knew. 😉 We’ll I did. And I guess most people that follows blogging a bit knows. Especially within the high tech industry where the web/google/blogs are used as a main information source. I google for information that is pretty technical each day, and I probably find around 40% or something of what I need on blogs.
I do this mainly out of interest, a small bit of fun (hey, I can’t deny it’s gratifying to see the stats go up) and a small bit of self promotion. Sometimes I blog a lot, and sometimes less. What I would really like to do is turn it towards a lot more content than just linking. That is my goal, but time rarely permits.
Rands is an excellent example of a good blogger. He really is one of my favourite bloggers in tech. Of course he blogs mostly management, but related to the software industry.
Maybe adding a bit of attitude to my blog would make it better? Nah, don’t have it in me. Maybe after a couple of beers like Matt suggests. 😉
