Why are you here?
• Building the technology platform for your startup • You want to prepare for success • Learn about design patterns & scalability • A pragmatic approach for startups
![Page 3: Scaling the Platform for Your Startup](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032420/55a5c1901a28abdd148b470f/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Priorities for startups
• Racing within a window of opportunity • Small team with no legacy • Focus on solving a problem • Avoid over-engineering & re-engineering • Reduce risk of failure when you go viral
![Page 4: Scaling the Platform for Your Startup](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032420/55a5c1901a28abdd148b470f/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
A scalable architecture
• Can support growth in users, traffic, data size • Without practical limits • Without a drop in performance • Seamlessly - just by adding more resources • Efficiently - in terms of cost per user
![Page 5: Scaling the Platform for Your Startup](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032420/55a5c1901a28abdd148b470f/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Day 1 – Dev & private beta
![Page 6: Scaling the Platform for Your Startup](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032420/55a5c1901a28abdd148b470f/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)

Day 2 - Public beta
![Page 8: Scaling the Platform for Your Startup](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032420/55a5c1901a28abdd148b470f/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
We need a bigger server
• Add larger & faster storage (EBS) • Use the right instance type • Easy to change instance sizes • Not our long term strategy • Will hit an endpoint eventually • No fault tolerance
![Page 9: Scaling the Platform for Your Startup](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032420/55a5c1901a28abdd148b470f/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Separating web and DB
• More capacity • Scale each tier individually • Tailor instance for each tier
– Instance type – Storage
• Security – Security groups – DB in a private VPC subnet
![Page 10: Scaling the Platform for Your Startup](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032420/55a5c1901a28abdd148b470f/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
But how do I choose what DB technology I need?
SQL? NoSQL?
![Page 11: Scaling the Platform for Your Startup](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032420/55a5c1901a28abdd148b470f/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Why start with a Relational DB?
• SQL is versatile & feature-rich • Lots of existing code, tools, knowledge • Clear patterns to scalability (for read-heavy apps) • Reality: eventually you will have a polyglot data layer
– There will be workloads where NoSQL is a better fit – Use the right tool for each workload
![Page 12: Scaling the Platform for Your Startup](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032420/55a5c1901a28abdd148b470f/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Key Insight: Relational Databases are Complex
• Our experience running Amazon.com taught us that relational databases can be a pain to manage and operate with high availability
• Poorly managed relational databases are a leading cause of lost sleep and downtime in the IT world!
• Especially for startups with small teams
![Page 13: Scaling the Platform for Your Startup](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032420/55a5c1901a28abdd148b470f/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)

Improving efficiency
![Page 15: Scaling the Platform for Your Startup](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032420/55a5c1901a28abdd148b470f/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Offload static content • Amazon S3: highly available hosting that scales
– Static files (JavaScript, CSS, images) – User uploads
• S3 URLs – serve directly from S3 • Let the web server focus on dynamic content
![Page 16: Scaling the Platform for Your Startup](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032420/55a5c1901a28abdd148b470f/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Amazon CloudFront • Worldwide network of edge locations • Cache on the edge
– Reduce latency – Reduce load on origin servers – Static and dynamic content – Even few seconds caching of popular content can have huge impact
• Connection optimizations – Optimize transfer route – Reuse connections – Benefits even non cachable content
CloudFront
![Page 17: Scaling the Platform for Your Startup](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032420/55a5c1901a28abdd148b470f/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)

Database caching • Faster response from RAM • Reduce load on database
Application server
1. If data in cache, return result
2. If not in cache, read from DB
RDS database
Amazon ElastiCache
3. And store in cache

Amazon ElastiCache: in-memory cache
• Simple to Deploy • Managed
– Automatically replaces failed nodes – Patch management
• Elastic • Compatible ElastiCache

Take the shortcut
• While this architecture is simple you still need to deal with: – Configuration details – Deploying code to multiple instances – Maintaining multiple environments (Dev, Test, Prod) – Maintain different versions of the application
• Solution: Use AWS Elastic Beanstalk
![Page 44: Scaling the Platform for Your Startup](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032420/55a5c1901a28abdd148b470f/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
AWS Elastic Beanstalk (EB) • Easily deploy, monitor, and scale three-tier web
applications and services. • Infrastructure provisioned and managed by EB • You maintain control. • Preconfigured application containers • Easily customizable. • Support for these platforms:
![Page 45: Scaling the Platform for Your Startup](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032420/55a5c1901a28abdd148b470f/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Loose coupling with SQS

Scaling Relational DBs
• Increase RDS instance specs – Larger instance type – More storage / more PIOPS
• Read Replicas (Master – Slave) – Scale out beyond capacity of single DB instance – Available in Amazon RDS for MySQL, PostgreSQL and Amazon Aurora – Writes => master – Replication lag – Reads with tolerance to stale data => read replica (slave) – Reads with strong consistency requirements => master

What if your app is write-heavy?
Challenge: You will eventually hit the write throughput or storage limit of the master node Solutions: • Federation (splitting into multiple DBs based on function) • Sharding (splitting one data set across multiple hosts)
![Page 56: Scaling the Platform for Your Startup](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032420/55a5c1901a28abdd148b470f/html5/thumbnails/56.jpg)
Database federation • Divide tables into smaller
autonomous databases • Harder to do cross-function
queries • Won’t help with single huge
functions/tables

Sharded horizontal scaling
• Store subset of rows into each database shard
• More complex at the application layer
• No practical limit on scalability
• Operation complexity

NoSQL data stores
• Trade query & integrity features of Relational DBs for – More flexible data model – Horizontal scalability & predictable performance
DynamoDB Provisioned read/write performance per table
![Page 59: Scaling the Platform for Your Startup](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022032420/55a5c1901a28abdd148b470f/html5/thumbnails/59.jpg)
Massive and Seamless Scale
• Distributed system that can scale both reads and writes – Sharding + Replicas
• Automatic partitioning: – Data set size growth – Provisioned capacity increases table

Performance testing @ JUST EAT (Or: DoS yourself every night in production to prove you can take it)
@justeat_tech + @petemounce http://tech.just-eat.com

Please wait while I start my DoS attack... (Demo - start fake load, show dashboards)

The problem with performance tests & continuous delivery
● Don’t want to sacrifice continuous delivery & decoupled teams
● Don’t want performance to suffer All the usual problems: ● Bottleneck through single environment ● Individual tests take too long

Why?
Continuously test ● performance ● capacity If we find a problem Thursday night: 1. don’t run fake load over the weekend 2. enjoy weekend as normal 3. fix it next week with leisure

Gamble!
OH: “We deploy tens of small changes a day. I bet we won’t break production...”
OH: “Let’s just do it in production with fake traffic at the same time as customers!”

Not that much of a gamble, really We have tight feedback loops at this point.
Engineers being on call
... highly invested in not regressing performance.

How?
Pick scenarios we care about
Pick data variations to exercise
Add header(s) to discriminate fake load vs customer load
Run it every night during peak time
If no alerts fire, we’re good
