It's the expertise you need when your start-up gets an unexpected spike in web traffic, or when a new feature causes your mature application to fail. In this collection of essays and interviews, web veterans such as Theo Schlossnagle, Baron Schwartz, and Alistair Croll offer insights into this evolving field. You'll learn stories from the trenches--from builders of some of the biggest sites on the Web--on what's necessary to help a site thrive. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eLearn the skills needed in web operations, and why they're gained through experience rather than schooling \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUnderstand why it's important to gather metrics from both your application and infrastructure \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConsider common approaches to database architectures and the pitfalls that come with increasing scale \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLearn how to handle the human side of outages and degradations \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFind out how one company avoided disaster after a huge traffic deluge \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDiscover what went wrong after a problem occurs, and how to prevent it from happening again \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eContributors include: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJohn Allspaw \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Heather Champ \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Michael Christian \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Richard Cook \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Alistair Croll \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Patrick Debois \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Eric Florenzano \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Paul Hammond \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Justin Huff \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Adam Jacob \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Jacob Loomis \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Matt Massie \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Brian Moon \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Anoop Nagwani \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Sean Power \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Eric Ries \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Theo Schlossnagle \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Baron Schwartz \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Andrew Shafer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e John Allspaw, Jesse Robbins\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1449377440\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781449377441\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e O'Reilly Media\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/27\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 336\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.20lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.20h x 7.00w x 0.80d\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"John Allspaw","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43935859966207,"sku":"9781449377441","price":39.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_8eab0f2e-46c0-49ee-a409-2b9bf61cb637.jpg?v=1681422239","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/web-operations-john-allspaw-9781449377441","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
