I wrote a book about common sense.

The Art of Capacity Planning: Scaling Web Resources

Whew. That took longer than I thought.

Todd Hoff over at the High Scalability blog has an email interview with me about a book that I wrote, called “The Art of Capacity Planning: Scaling Web Resources“.  I’m still just happy that I got it done at all, seeing how it was due the same week that my son was born.

This book happened because of a LOT of people. You know who you are, because you’re in the Acknowledgements. :)

Four chapters of the new book on RoughCuts…

by allspaw on June 13, 2008

So now there’s chapters 1-4 on Safari RoughCuts. Which means if you don’t mind shelling out the dough, you can take a look at what I’ve been getting up early for every day for the past few months. The working title is “The Art of Capacity Planning” and it’s meant to be a no-nonsense description of the capacity planning process and considerations for web operations.

I still have two chapters to go before it’s all finished, but if you’re nice enough to take a look at what I’ve got thus far, I’d appreciate any feedback. I’m sure there could be typos and some graphs misaligned, but such is life with “drafts”. :)
