Learn from the pros! Illustrated throughout with full-color images of top sites — including those of Starbucks, Purina, the Getty Center, Salon Magazine, and Carnegie Hall — this hands-on guide is your blueprint for successful Web architecture. Each chapter explores a different secret, from building a hierarchy and mapping links to developing vivid themes and planning for expansion. Drawing on interviews with top Web architects, author Clay Andres shows you how to construct easy-to-navigate, aesthetically pleasing sites that elegantly project your identity while solving real-world business challenges.

Great Web Architecture 1st Table of contents:

Part I: Foundations of Web Architecture

1. Understanding Web Architecture

   • Defining web architecture and its core components.
   • The role of web servers, databases, and front-end frameworks.
   • Architecture patterns and how they evolve over time.

2. Scalability and Performance

   • Principles of scalability: vertical vs. horizontal scaling.
   • Load balancing, caching, and optimizing data flow.
   • Key performance metrics to track for a web application.

3. Designing for High Availability

   • Achieving fault tolerance and high availability.
   • Redundancy, failover, and disaster recovery strategies.
   • Distributed systems and their role in availability.

Part II: Core Technologies for Web Systems

4. Web Servers and Load Balancers

   • Choosing the right web server (e.g., Apache, Nginx, etc.).
   • Load balancing techniques and their benefits.
   • Reverse proxies and their role in web systems.

5. Databases and Data Storage

   • Types of databases: relational vs. NoSQL.
   • Database sharding and replication strategies.
   • Caching strategies: Memcached, Redis, and database optimization.

6. Content Delivery Networks (CDNs)

   • Introduction to CDNs and how they improve performance.
   • How CDNs work and how to integrate them into your web architecture.
   • Geographically distributed servers and content caching.

Part III: Advanced Web Architecture Design

7. Microservices and Service-Oriented Architecture

   • The rise of microservices: benefits and challenges.
   • Designing a microservices architecture.
   • Integrating microservices with legacy systems.

8. Asynchronous Architectures and Messaging

   • Event-driven architecture and its advantages.
   • Implementing asynchronous messaging using queues (e.g., RabbitMQ, Kafka).
   • Managing distributed transactions and consistency in asynchronous systems.

9. Serverless Architectures

   • Introduction to serverless computing and its key components.
   • Benefits and drawbacks of serverless architectures.
   • Using serverless platforms like AWS Lambda and Google Cloud Functions.

Part IV: Performance Optimization

10. Optimizing Web Application Performance

    • Best practices for reducing latency.
    • Optimizing HTTP requests and responses.
    • Front-end performance optimizations: lazy loading, image compression, and code splitting.

11. Caching Strategies for Speed

    • Client-side vs. server-side caching.
    • HTTP cache headers, ETag, and cache busting.
    • Distributed caching solutions like Redis and CDN integration.

12. Database Optimization for Speed

    • Indexing and query optimization in databases.
    • Managing database connections efficiently.
    • Techniques for reducing database load and latency.

Part V: Security and Reliability

13. Security Best Practices

    • Understanding web security threats (SQL injection, XSS, CSRF).
    • Encryption, authentication, and authorization strategies.
    • Web application firewalls (WAF) and secure development practices.

14. Building for Reliability and Resilience

    • Designing for fault tolerance and graceful degradation.
    • Monitoring, logging, and alerting for web systems.
    • Automated testing and continuous deployment for reliability.

Part VI: Case Studies and Real-World Architectures

15. Case Study: Building a Scalable Web App

    • Step-by-step guide to building a scalable web application.
    • Architecture design decisions and performance trade-offs.
    • Scaling challenges and solutions in practice.

16. Case Study: High-Traffic Websites

    • Example architectures of high-traffic websites (e.g., social media, e-commerce platforms).
    • Strategies for handling millions of users and petabytes of data.
    • Balancing performance, scalability, and cost.
