Mint.com started as a prototype created by the author using open source tools with no prior startup experience. The initial prototype focused on differentiating features like aggregating financial accounts and transactions. As users grew, performance issues arose due to increased load on servers and databases. To address these growing pains, the architecture was optimized by separating tiers, adding caching, database sharding, and more. Key lessons were to focus first on critical user problems in prototypes, continuously measure performance, and optimize based on demand to balance latency, throughput, and quality as the user base expanded.

Presentation of peer-reviewed research paper for the 2007 IA Summit, presented March 24, 2007 in Las Vegas.
Content management systems (CMS) are making it easier than ever to create and manage Web site content. Often, once a CMS site is constructed, administration can be performed by users with limited technical knowledge (no coding experience necessary) using rich text editors and graphical, user-friendly interfaces. But how do you get to that point? This session will explore the decision making process arts organizations should engage in to determine their readiness to move into a CMS, to navigate the multitude of CMS lines in existence, and to ensure successful return on investment for a CMS transition. Created by Josh Futrell for the 2008 Technology in the Arts: Canada Conference.
