Session

Geographic Distribution for Global Web Application Performance

Jacob Rosenberg, Operations Architect, AOL LLC.

Track: Web Operations
Date: Tuesday, April 17
Time: 8:30am - 9:20am
Location: 2018

Many of the slickest web products seem a lot less appealing when used half a world away. By avoiding some common pitfalls, and designing for geographic distribution, web developers can build products that work around the world as well as they do at home.

Topics:
Going multisite: challenges and opportunities

  • Building an application that can be delivered from multiple hot sites is necessary to distribute from around the world, yet requires smart planning
Delivering static bits via content delivery networks
  • Don't do more work than necessary. Let content distribution networks deliver bits locally and save the heavy listing for applications
Storing data: write once, read everywhere
  • Explore advanced content replication methods to get you and your users' data accessible everywhere

This talk will discuss the challenges of scaling advanced web applications to work globally based on the experience of AOL's geographic distribution program.
