JavaScript at Scale
About this eBook
JavaScript at Scale will show you how to deal with scalability from a number of perspectives; addressability, testability and component composition.
The book begins by defining 'scale' from a JavaScript point of view, and dives into the influencers of scale, as well as scalable component composition and communication. We will also look at how large-scale architectures need the ability to scale down, and recover from failing components, as well as scale up and manage new features or a large user base.
Filled with real-world JavaScript scaling scenarios, and code-first examples, JavaScript at Scale is your guide to building out applications that last. Each topic is covered in a way that it can be applied to your own unique scenarios; by understanding the fundamentals of a scaling issue, you'll be able to use that knowledge to tackle even the most difficult of situations.
The code examples follow the same approach, using ECMAScript 6 syntax that can be translated to the framework of choice.
