Thanks for referencing my blog entry .. this is a topic that I’ve been dealing with since we released our Tangosol Coherence software in 2001 (now Oracle Coherence Data Grid).

I just wanted to comment on one thing you said: “For a successful scalable web application, all layers have to scale in equally.”

My comment is this: Solving scalability problems is often a process of working around the scalability limits of the parts of the infrastructure that do NOT scale equally. In other words, in the real world, one does not have the ability to choose all of the components, applications, system infrastructure, etc. within an organization, because 99% of it is already there and 50% cannot be replaced even within a ten year window. However, the businesses require applications that can both scale and interoperate with these systems.

Peace,

Cameron.
