Performance Optimizations in a Cloud-Centric World

Moving your web operations to the cloud means having less control over the way your website operates. That’s not a bad thing—it’s actually advantageous given today’s larger audiences and wider variety of media—but in an era when reliability is key to user satisfaction, how can you manage performance when third-party services run your site?

In this O'Reilly report, author Andy Still points out:

  • How the advantages of using cloud-based systems outweigh the disadvantages
  • How you can closely monitor system elements that you don’t control, with Real User Monitoring (RUM) and other tools
  • How to use a CDN and cache data as close to users as possible
  • How to architect your systems to gracefully handle potential cloud service failures
