Talk on scalability, the cloud and virtual startups

I gave my talk at barcamp yesterday about scalability, startups and using the cloud to completely operate a new company, which seemed to go down well. Whilst running around networking, and having lots of fun meeting up with old and new friends, I also managed to put our new development and staging environment for bejant live (thank god the wifi got fixed :-) ). And later this week we will be shifting all the final pieces of the organisation into the cloud. So we are practising what we preach.

Barcamp's event page is on backnetwork keep checking back on there and I will make the slides available, I also understand that the presentations where being recorded, not sure if mine was, is so i will track down the podcast and get that up too. 

Scaling it up.

Around about this time last year, I gave a presentation at BarcampLondon2 on scalability in low end web services. The presentation was targeted at small startups and sole web developers and aimed to give them some insights into how to harden a site against burst traffic. 

Anyway some kind soul thought it was good enough to upload to Scribd , so you can read this now slightly dated presentation here.
