Both are approaches I give, ahem, special mention to on all my pages at the bottom of the left-hand column. So it was with some apprehension that I opened up this (PDF) slide pack from Dan Pritchett and Randy Shoup of eBay, presented at SD Forum 2006 recently. I was expecting my prejudices around the issues and techniques of scaling web sites to be challenged, at least. ...
