Episode 26 - How to build applications that scale?
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
What exactly does it mean for your application to scale? How do you architect its backend so you make sure there is room for scaling?
In this episode I cover different tips and techniques you can apply to your backend architecture to help it scale.
The main topics covered are:
- The benefits of microservices.
- Add load balancing.
- Downside of stateful microservices.
- Look after your databases.
- Switch to an event-based architecture.
