Scaling Web Applications

Scaling web applications involves implementing strategies to handle increased traffic and user load. As a senior engineer with 7 years of experience in full-stack development and a strong interest in ML, it is important to understand the various techniques used to scale web applications.

Some common strategies for scaling web applications include:

  1. Horizontal Scaling: Adding more servers to distribute the load
  2. Caching: Storing frequently accessed data in memory for faster retrieval
  3. Load Balancing: Distributing incoming requests across multiple servers
  4. Database Optimization: Optimizing queries and indexes for better performance
  5. Content Delivery Networks (CDN): Caching and delivering static content closer to the users
  6. Asynchronous Processing: Offloading time-consuming tasks to background jobs

By implementing these strategies, web applications can handle increased traffic and provide a smooth user experience.
