商品資訊
商品簡介
“Many books address how to correct failing product architectures or problematic processes, both of which are symptoms of an unspoken problem. This book not only covers those symptoms, but addresses their underlying cause—the way in which we manage, lead, organize, and staff our teams.”
—Jeremy King, chief technology officer and senior vice president, global eCommerce at Walmart.com
The Comprehensive, Proven Approach to IT Scalability—Updated with New Strategies, Technologies, and Case Studies

This extensively revised edition reflects new technologies, strategies, and lessons, as well as new case studies from the authors’ pioneering consulting practice, AKF Partners.
