50 Powerful, Easy-to-Use Rules for Supporting Hypergrowth in Any Environment Scalability Rules, 2nd Edition is the easy-to-use updated and revised scalability primer and reference for every architect, developer, web professional, and manager. Authors Martin L. Abbott and Michael T. Fisher have helped scale more than 350 hypergrowth Internet sites through their consulting practice. Drawing on their unsurpassed experience, they present 50 clear, proven scalability rules-and practical guidance for applying them. Included in this updated edition are stories told by CTOs from companies such as Intuit, ServiceNow, and NASDAQ about how they learned these rules.
