  8. Formulation - Requirements • Scalable • Automated • Efficient • Consistent • Easy • Manageable

  9. Formulation - Constraints • Ease of use • Fault tolerance • Burst load • Privacy • Development time • Cost • Consistent, quality product

  10. Agenda • Problem • Formulation • Solution • Discussion • Conclusion

  11. Solution - Scalable Web Application • Centralized and consistent • Multi-user operations • Simplified and powerful • Managed • Familiar

  12. Agenda • Problem • Formulation • Solution • Discussion • Conclusion

  13. Agenda Discussion • "Batteries included" development • Process driving success • Data structures defining efficiency

  14. Discussion - "Batteries Included" • Developed fast • Good engineering practice • Quality outcome (maintainable)

  15. "Batteries Included" Tools • Django Web Framework • Apache Httpd Web Server • MySQL Database • Memcached

  16. "Batteries Included" - Django • Loose coupling, tight cohesion • Quick development (batteries) • Consistent • Scalable • Free • Powerful

  17. "Batteries Included" - Apache Httpd • Industry standard • Scalable • Free • Stable

  18. "Batteries Included" - MySQL DB • Industry backed • Common • Scalable • Free • Stable
