Architecting Scalable Enterprise Web Applications
Scalability of an enterprise application is critical to the success of its online strategy and business. Business needs its online platform to be scalable to sustain the growth, and this requires the enterprise web applications to efficiently handle the increased user traffic and input data volume with acceptable performance.
In this chapter, we will look at various aspects of scalability such as scalability dimensions, key tenets, scalability challenges, scalability best practices, scalability patterns, and a comprehensive process to achieve scalability. A deep-dive analysis of scalability is elaborated, which includes layer-wise scalability, fault tolerance, distributed computing, sizing and capacity planning, scalable software design, load distribution, services scalability, database scalability, storage scalability, and virtualization techniques. The patterns, challenges, and best practices are all analyzed from hardware and software perspectives. The chapter also discusses various scalability testing methods and scalability-related anti-patterns. We then examine a case study at the end of this chapter where we look at a business scenario close to real world and apply the patterns and best practices discussed in the chapter to design a scalable system.
Keywords
Scalability dimensions; scalability best practices; scalability patterns; scalability challenges; fault tolerance; failover; redundancy; clustered deployment; horizontal clustering; vertical clustering; stateless session; lightweight design; on-demand data loading; resource pooling; replication; service-oriented architecture; virtualization; sizing and capacity planning; scalability testing; scalable software design; load distribution
1.1 Introduction
Scalability is the capability of the enterprise application and its ecosystem components to handle increased workload and demand without compromising its overall efficiency. Let us look closely at the different elements related to scalability, based on the above statement:
• Application and its ecosystem: Scalability is measured for various components at various levels. The ecosystem of an enterprise application generally includes the infrastructure elements like hardware components such as web server and database server, network interfaces, upstream/downstream systems, and all other components that participate in processing a web request. We can go further into granular level such as methods/functions used within the application, stored procedures of a database, or a web service to measure
