Tier-based architectures are essentially database-based and this causes scalability issues both directly and indirectly.

Due to the heavy reliance on the database as the sole reliable storage mechanism, traditional architectures include mapping effort (ORM) as well as network hops to and from the DB which both cause increased latency. Additionally, traditional systems often utilize messaging as a stop-gap measure to defer processing that could be best performed immediately. As the demand on the number and size of requests supported by the application grows the pain caused by these two design decisions grows.

This talk focuses on an architecture utilizing Transparent Partitioning and Colocation. This allows the creation of a "processing unit", a single process that addresses reliability, messaging, and processing without involving network hops within the critical transaction flow of the application.

Learn how this pattern can be leveraged to increase throughput and reduce latency for Java, .NET, and even Excel applications.

Talk and Slides will be held in English.
