Ten tips for Java applications that scale well

Sometimes it pays to do a little extra. We’d already recorded a podcast about this year’s JavaOne, but curiosity sent me back to the list of talks. The one that immediately caught my eye was Top 10 Patterns for Scaling Out Java Technology-Based Applications by Cameron Purdy (Tangosol, now Oracle).

If you read TSS from time to time, you’ll know Cameron Purdy is well regarded there and has sensible things to say. The talk is informative, there’s an audio recording, and it’s very funny too. My favorite is slide 10 on horizontal scalability ;-). I’d recommend it to anyone. It’s a great talk.
