Performance, Workload, scalability and etc, once systems are in Production


Udi Dahan, I found his writings not so long ago, but kind of addicted to his blog because of the way he writes the stuff and their content. He is a Software Simplist, which is not a familiar designation in our environment.

Recently I read his article on an experience they had with one of their System in Production. It was about handling the Workload, Performance and Scalability of the system, once it was exposed to the real production scenarios. We know that we are not that good in these type of system attribute testing in our software development and testing environments, but when it’s come to the production, things can go horribly wrong sometimes, if you had not thought about the them at the design phase of the system.

It is true that we can’t predict all possible scenario at the development stage of the systems, but we have to make sure that we have room for the extensions, whenever they need to be in place.
Here is the article. It is been written few years ago, but content is almost valid for more years to come too.
