Data driven Java applications often face scalability challenges
because of their underlying database tier. This is largely because
conventional relational databases are inflexible and application
developers are required to configure and provision database capacity to
meet peak or near demand.
This is neither cost effective, nor even feasible for high growth
companies. Some traditional solutions to this problem are hard-to-use,
non-standard, and fragile. They also, most often, require wholesale
application rewrites.
In this talk, we present an alternative method to solve this problem based on elastic database virtualization architectures. The talk will present some insights into the inner workings of one such solution, and include a brief demonstration.
