At the CFSummit 2014, I presented on The Top 5 Things You are Doing Today to Hinder Scalability.

I collected my material through helping clients to scale their applications over a number of years. The important things in this presentation are listed in order. Decisions you make in your applications today, affect what options you have when you need to scale your application.

Certainly it is a very good thing to have an application you built grow to the point you need to consider scalability. Popularity is good, right?

However, there are decisions you can make in your code, code architecture and infrastructure architecture that will add or remove scalability options.

The presentation was well received by the audience and I thank each and every one of them for choosing to spend their time with me during this time slot.

For brevity, I included a number of details in an appendix to the presentation. Review this if you want to know particulars about a specific topic.

I'm always available for questions or consulting, should you need extra help.

I hope you enjoyed the CFSummit 2014. See you next year!
