Designing for scale is one of the fundamental principles of modern software engineering. However, an organization’s ambition to build scalable applications often exceeds its ability. While it's easy to see the incredible opportunities for scaling up and going global, many do not appreciate the biggest challenges facing development and DevOps teams building scalable apps.

In previous articles, we reviewed some popular high-performance front-end and back-end frameworks. These articles focus on how these frameworks have been developed for high-performance. Here we will look at back-end frameworks that offer developers and product managers highly secure features for application development.

Kubernetes is a popular tool for container orchestration. But why are so many companies choosing to use Kubernetes, and what benefit does it offer software development and DevOps teams?

We’ve looked at best practices for building scalable applications. We turn our attention now to the technical issues your development teams must address. This guide introduces ten software design principles for building scalable applications.

The Internet and web applications have enabled businesses to scale like never before. Previously, a business’s physical footprint restricted it to a particular market, and simple logistics limited the number of transactions per day. A similar company can now create web applications that serve a global audience and process thousands of concurrent transactions. But is this scale available to every business?

“Governance, risk, and compliance” (GRC) might be dirty words for many people working in application development and delivery. Strict rules and processes can be obstacles to innovation or meeting project deadlines. However, with security failures causing downtime, lost revenue, leaked customer and proprietary information, and hefty regulatory fines, application teams cannot afford to ignore GRC measures designed to limit the probability and potential for harm.
