A practical, nuts-and-bolts guide to architectural solutions that describes step-by-step how to design robustness and flexibility into an Internet-based system
Based on real-world problems and systems, and illustrated with a running case study
Enables software architects and project managers to ensure that nonfunctional requirements are met so that the system won't fall over, that it can be maintained and upgraded without being switched off, and that it can deal with security, scalability, and performance demands
Platform and vendor independence will empower architects to challenge product-dictated limitations
