Read this before you need it,
This is not your typical tech book. It’s an unusual mix of lessons learned on both deep technical issues, as well as broad business and people management topics.
One of the most difficult challenges in the Internet era is “surviving success.” You may think this is a good problem to have, but that’s little consolation if your company goes under because you couldn’t scale your business or your software. If you’ve come up with something promising, and your business is off to a good start, then I can only hope you don’t read this too late.
These guys have “been there and done that” at some of the most successful companies of our time, and they are giving back by sharing what they’ve learned. Very few people on the planet have the experience they do, and this is one of the most important, practical, actionable and relevant books for those of us in the business of running commercial Internet-based businesses.

|Technical scalability is only a part of organizational scalability — know all about it!,
Imagine a highly scalable architecture of a successful ecommerce company.
If you visualize distributed data centers, content distribution networks,
Brewers CAP theorem etc you have only half of the scalability story.
This book tells the whole story of organizational scalability of which
technical scalability is only a part. Consider some examples like how do
you perform reliable change management of a vast infrastructure to
maintain business continuity or what should be the model for unambiguous
responsibility-accountibility in a scalable organization.
I have worked in a critical scalability project of PayPal.com and can vouch
that this book is a gem.
