How To Achieve Scalability in Software Development?
read this article to learn how to achieve scalability in software development!
You just launched your new site. Time to kick up your feet and relax, right?
Unfortunately not. Your site is going to need regular monitoring and maintenance. What sort of things should you keep on top of, and what are the consequences you face if you don't?
To minimize the risk of your site being compromised, it needs to be running the current stable versions of the software it relies on. When security threats are announced, patches are also supplied. It's at this point your development team should immediately apply these patches to prevent your site from being compromised.
Every site is subject to downtime. On the rare occasion this occurs, it is usually a hosting platform issue. Often an outage with the platform your site depends on is the problem. For example, if your site is hosted with Heroku, it might actually be an Amazon cloud service that Heroku relies on which causes the downtime.
At any time, your site could be flooded with traffic because of an event. Perhaps a popular blog linked to your site in a new post. Although this is often a wonderful thing, your hosting may not be set up to cope with the high demand, so your site grinds to a halt.
