i?{1/2}??This book is much more than you may think it is. Scale is not just about designing Web sites that doni?{1/2}??t crash when lots of users show up. It is about designing your company so that it doesni?{1/2}??t crash when your business needs to grow. These guys have been there on the front lines of some of the most successful Internet companies of our time, and they share the good, the bad, and the ugly about how to not just survive, but thrive.i?{1/2}??

"The Art of Scalability is by far the best book on scalability on the market today. The authors tackle the issues of scalability from processes, to people, to performance, to the highly technical. Whether your organization is just starting out and is defining processes as you go, or you are a mature organization, this is the ideal book to help you deal with scalability issues before, during, or after an incident. Having built several projects, programs, and companies from small to significant scale, I can honestly say I wish I had this book one, five, and ten years ago.i?{1/2}??i?{1/2}??Jeremy Wright, CEO, b5media, Inc.
i?{1/2}??Only a handful of people in the world have experienced the kind of growth-related challenges that Fisher and Abbott have seen at eBay, PayPal, and the other companies theyi?{1/2}??ve helped to build. Fewer still have successfully overcome such challenges. The Art of Scalability provides a great summary of lessons learned while scaling two of the largest internet companies in the history of the space, and iti?{1/2}??s a must-read for any executive at a hyper-growth company.
