JavaZone 2009 - Building and managing a highly scalable Twitter-like clone
What would you do if you were tasked with building a Twitter clone which was highly scalable? How would you test it? How would you manage the deployments? Join this intrepid presenter, who being all too ingrained with the concepts of RDMBSs, dips his feet in the world of non-relational databases, explores the ins and outs of key/value stores, BigTable, and other approaches, figures out how to manage deployments and investigates how to test the application so it won't ever go down.
