Web caching provides several benefits including bandwidth savings, reducing server load, and decreasing network latency. It works by intercepting HTTP requests and checking a local cache for the requested object before going to the origin server. Different caching approaches include proxy caching, reverse proxy caching, transparent proxy caching, and hierarchical caching. New techniques like adaptive caching and push caching aim to dynamically optimize cache placement near popular content or users.

This document discusses various techniques for optimizing proxy server performance, including: 1) Establishing baseline performance metrics and monitoring the server to identify bottlenecks. Common bottlenecks include incorrect settings, faulty resources, insufficient resources, or applications hogging resources. 2) Caching web content and using proxy arrays, network load balancing, or round robin DNS to distribute load across multiple proxy servers for improved performance and high availability. 3) Monitoring server components like CPU usage, memory usage, disk performance, and network bandwidth to identify optimization opportunities.

Visit http://wiki.directi.com/x/LwAj for the video. This is a presentation I delivered at the Great Indian Developer Summit 2008. It covers a wide-array of topics and a plethora of lessons we have learnt (some the hard way) over the last 9 years in building web apps that are used by millions of users serving billions of page views every month. Topics and Techniques include Vertical scaling, Horizontal Scaling, Vertical Partitioning, Horizontal Partitioning, Loose Coupling, Caching, Clustering, Reverse Proxying and more.

WebLogic Security provides a comprehensive security architecture for securing WebLogic Server applications. It includes features such as authentication, authorization, auditing, identity assertion, and supports standards like SAML, JAAS, and WS-Security. The security service can be used standalone or as part of an enterprise security solution. It aims to balance ease of use with customizability and provides both default and customizable security providers.

Writing Scalable Software in Java - From multi-core to grid-computing

Slides on how to process large data, such as how to handle large amount of incoming frequent inputs, large Object or documents and how to provide data to massive amount of clients

As interest in cloud solutions and their use with enterprise applications has increased, MavenWire has taken a lead in implementing and benchmarking several instances of OTM using Amazon Web Services (AWS) and Elastic Cloud Compute (EC2). This presentation outlines how the instances were set up and configured; potential benefits of OTM in the cloud; cost and performance comparisons between the cloud and "traditional" server configurations; areas of concern and issues to be aware of when implementing OTM in the cloud. In addition, we will also outline what we believe the future direction of cloud OTM will be, as well as where we believe it is best suited to customer needs.

Docstoc.com (founded in 2007, acquired by Intuit in 2013) is one of the largest online repositories of documents. A critical component of our product is our text file service, which delivers text documents to both humans and crawlers. In early 2013 this service, which was file system based, became a prohibitive bottleneck. To meet our scaling needs, we replaced it with one backed by a sharded MongoDB cluster. This talk will cover: Our traffic load (5:1 bots:humans ratio) How we implemented the system in our SOA environment How MongoDB fit our use case out of the box How we load tested peak time traffic before hardware purchase How we loaded the system and how we rolled it out live Performance metrics and gains in stability and reliability

This document discusses unit testing in Groovy. It begins with reviewing basics of unit test structure and organization, including parts of a test like annotations and assertions, and different styles of organizing tests by class, feature, or fixture. The document then provides an example of a Groovy unit test for a game board, showing how to test for exceptions from invalid moves and assert that valid moves are properly marked on the board. It concludes with references for further reading on testing patterns and practices.

Optimizing web page performance involves minimizing round trips, request sizes, and payload sizes. This includes leveraging browser caching, combining and minifying assets, gzip compression, and optimizing images. Developer tools can identify optimization opportunities like unused resources and suggest techniques for faster loading and rendering.

This document discusses browser caching and techniques to improve website performance through caching. Browser caching involves temporarily storing recently visited web pages on a user's hard disk to load them faster during the same browsing session. Making fewer HTTP requests, adding expires headers, using content delivery networks, and leveraging browser caching directives like Cache-Control can help optimize caching. Common file types like CSS, JavaScript, images that should be cached are also mentioned. The document provides details on various caching strategies and their benefits like reducing bandwidth usage and loading websites faster.
