Scaling Your Mobile Back-end

Whether you have one or a million visitors accessing your mobile app, they are all going to demand a great user experience regardless of what it takes for you to deliver it. This invariably means quick loads and fast response times every single time. When things go south, you just throw more hardware at the problem and increase your caches and buffers, right? Wrong. Toss in an infrastructure that resides on the cloud and now you've got a really interesting problem on your hands. I'll leave the marketecure slides at the door, this is a hands-on technical talk in which we'll deploy an application to the cloud and then turn up the heat by leveraging the right mix of elasticity and auto-scaling.

5. ASSUMPTIONS • You care about writing mobile applications • You want to learn how to scale your applications • You want to learn about the current cloud scape
6. OVERVIEW • My (mobile) development history • Native development sucks l JavaScript to the rescue • JavaScript everywhere l “Full stack”
7. PHP and CLOUD What is cloud computing?
8. LEVEL SET • Cloud computing will • Feed all the children • Shelter all the homeless • Create world peace • Save us from the zombie apocalypse • Automagically correct your terrible photos
9. “How do I use this?” Servers in the Cloud You must build and manage everything (OS, App Servers, DB, App, etc.) IaaS
10. “I’m not sure this does what I need.” You are restricted to the features of the 3rd Party application Someone else’s app in the Cloud (CRM, etc.) SaaS
11. • Quickly build the Application that YOU need for • Your Group, your Enterprise, your next great idea! • Big data, mobile, social • You code the application, We run it for you • Leverage the ease, scale and power of the Cloud Code Deploy Enjoy PaaS
12. EVERYONE GETS ALONG PaaS creates a peaceful environment for DEV and OPS

17. WORK HOW YOU WANT  Eclipse plug-ins, Cloud-based IDEs, Dashboard  REST API  Command-line tools  Shell access  Support Git  Pre/post deploy, pre/post install hooks  Jenkins and Maven built-in  Runs on AWS – leverage their ecosystem  Pluggable cartridges for partners & devs
18. Is OpenShift FREE?
19. Vertical Scaling Horizontal Scaling OpenShift is SCALABLE
20. PHP ROCKS ON OPENSHIFT Mobile Backends ROCK on OpenShift
21. FUTURE
22. THE SAMPLE APP
23. Node.JS  JavaScript on the server  NPM modules  Reuse your front-end code  Integration with Mongoose / MongoDB
24. MONGODB  Document-orientated  High performance  High availability  Easy scalability  JSON Document Store – Perfect for Titanium  Backed by 10gen  Open Source
25. TITANIUM  Eclipse-based IDE  Integrated with OpenShift  Build, test and deploy mobile apps from a single IDE  Debugger  I love it, but I hate it
