Vegas

Next week I am attending the Server Sides Java Symposium in Las Vegas. The agenda is up online.

One the sessions which really caught my eye is self scaling java based architectures in the cloud by Jinesh Varia

Heres a taste:

"One new way to architect your applications is to build it "in-the-cloud" - Keeping your components loosely coupled and independent to each other, and therefore able to scale well. For building architectures in-the-cloud, many developers use multiple Amazon Web Services, for example an array of Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) instances tied together with a bunch of Simple Queue Service (Amazon SQS) message queues, reading and writing data to Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3)."
