Forget throwing massive hardware at your web site, see how you can scale up through intelligent use of caching. Using Aspect Oriented Programming (AOP) you can inject caching into your existing application to help it respond better to bursts of load, startup time, and many other common scaling problems.

1. Easy Scaling with AppFabric Cache and AOP

2. What It Takes Microsoft AppFabric Cache Licensed with Windows Server 2008 & later PostSharp Community Edition Free version from www.SharpCrafters.com Gibraltar Analyst: Optional for monitoring Our product, not required for anything you see today.

3. Why Caching? Apps ask a lot of repeating questions. Stateless applications even more so Answers don’t change often Authoritative information is expensive Loading the world is impractical

4. Out of the Box ASP.NET Caches System.Web.Caching – General Purpose Use AppFabric as a “drop in” replacement Response.Cache a.k.a. Output Cache You still want this. If you’re not using it already, do this first.

5. Caches Everywhere

6. Integrating the Cache Explicit Caching Cache Aside Pattern

7. Basic Cache Operations Demo

8. Unique AppFabric Coolness Sharable within an Enterprise Share transient state, like shopping carts & sessions Massive Scale Up Rent it from Azure

9. Go Forward and Scale! Know your apps real world performance Find opportunities to reuse answers from any operation with caching Reconsider use of heavy persistence Optimize for the Slashdot Effect

10. Caching don’t fix stupid
