The Akamai approach to achieving performance and reliability on the internet

Published:12 August 2007Publication History

ABSTRACT

In this talk, we will describe several issues that impact the performance, reliability, and security of dynamic applications running over the Internet. We will then describe some of the techniques used by Akamai to overcome these problems, as well as six basic design principles for achieving reliability in a large-scale, distributed, real-time system operating in an unreliable environment such as the Internet. The talk will be introductory in nature.
