Session presented at the 2nd IndicThreads.com Conference on Cloud Computing held in Pune, India on 3-4 June 2011. http://CloudComputing.IndicThreads.com Abstract:“With increasing demand, ever-growing datasets, unpredictable traffic patterns and need for faster response times, “scalable architecture” has become a necessity. Here, we will see how the traditional concepts and best practices for scalability have to be adopted for the cloud. Further, we will go through the unique advantages that Amazon AWS cloud offers for architecting scalable applications. As an architect, you need to identify the components and bottlenecks in your architecture and modify your application to leverage the underlying scalability. We will cover the following topics: Scalability principles for the cloud Leveraging AWS services for application components Shared nothing architecture Asynchronous work queues for loosely coupled applications Database scalability Tools, connectors and enablers to help build, deploy and monitor your cloud environment Scalability using Platform-as-a-Service offerings on top of AWS An example of a horizontally scalable architecture for an enterprise application on Amazon AWS This talk will act as a primer for a cloud architect to achieve an auto-scalable, highly available, fully-monitored edge-cached application.” Speaker: Kalpak Shah is the Founder & CEO of Clogeny Technologies Pvt.

Cloud Foundry helps developers decompose monolithic applications into modular services by: 1) Making it easy to provision platform services like SQL, NoSQL, and message brokers that services can use. 2) Allowing developers to deploy and manage application services independently without having to setup and manage environments themselves. 3) Supporting polyglot applications by enabling different services to be written in different programming languages and frameworks.

My talk on MetaCDN for the Cloudslam 2009 virtual conference. Many 'Cloud Storage' providers have launched in the last two years, providing internet accessible data storage and delivery in several continents that is backed by rigorous Service Level Agreements (SLAs), guaranteeing specific performance and uptime targets. The facilities offered by these providers is leveraged by developers via provider-specific Web Service APIs. For content creators, these providers have emerged as a genuine alternative to dedicated Content Delivery Networks (CDNs) for global file storage and delivery, as they are significantly cheaper, have comparable performance and no ongoing contract obligations. As a result, the idea of utilising Storage Clouds as a 'poor mans' CDN is very enticing. However, many of these 'Cloud Storage' providers are merely basic storage services, and do not offer the capabilities of a fully-featured CDN such as intelligent replication, failover, load redirection and load balancing. Furthermore, they can be difficult to use for non-developers, as each service is best utilised via unique web services or programmer APIs. In this presentation, we describe the design, architecture, implementation and user-experience of MetaCDN, a system that integrates these 'Cloud Storage' providers into an unified CDN service that provides high performance, low cost, geographically distributed content storage and delivery for content creators. MetaCDN harnesses the power of 'Cloud Storage' for novices and seasoned users alike, offering an easy to use web portal and a sophisticated Web Service API.

Today, there are several trends that are forcing application architectures to evolve. Users expect a rich, interactive and dynamic user experience on a wide variety of clients including mobile devices. Applications must be highly scalable, highly available and run on cloud environments. Organizations often want to frequently roll out updates, even multiple times a day. Consequently, it’s no longer adequate to develop simple, monolithic web applications that serve up HTML to desktop browsers. In this talk we describe the limitations of a monolithic architecture. You will learn how to use the scale cube to decompose your application into a set of narrowly focused, independently deployable back-end services and an HTML 5 client. We will also discuss the role of technologies such as NodeJS and AMQP brokers. You will learn how a modern PaaS such as Cloud Foundry simplifies the development and deployment of this style of application.

Modern web applications are moving toward JavaScript-based rich clients that communicate with RESTful APIs and services. The browser acts as the rich client using HTML5, CSS3, and JavaScript, while the server side provides cloud-hosted RESTful services using technologies like Spring and NoSQL databases for scalability. This shifts complexity from server-side rendering to the client while taking advantage of the cloud. Key challenges include implementing modularity in JavaScript and supporting offline use, cloud deployment, API design best practices, and testing.

Modern web applications are moving toward JavaScript-based rich clients running in browsers, with business logic and data accessed via RESTful APIs. This shifts rendering and logic from servers to clients. JavaScript frameworks help build complex client-side apps, while various languages can be used to create scalable cloud services. Challenges include achieving modularity in JavaScript, and building offline/cloud-ready services with versioned, documented APIs.

1. Windows Azure is a cloud computing platform that provides a hosted environment for building, deploying and managing applications and services through a global network of Microsoft-managed data centers. 2. The platform provides compute, storage and networking services that together support development and hosting of applications scaled for the internet. 3. Key components include the Azure Services Platform for .NET and SQL-based services, Live Services for user-centric experiences, and support for building applications that integrate on-premises and cloud-hosted services using standard protocols.

JavaScript becomes more and more important for implementing full-featured rich client applications in the browser. Therefore our classical ideas and blueprints for Spring-based architectures have to change. This talks provides a high-level overview of these changes and talks about how to combine Spring on the server side to implement RESTful and HATEOAS APIs and JavaScript in the client side to realize full client side apps in your browser. The talk discusses the basic ideas and motivations behind this shift in architectures without going too deep into all the technical details.
