We all aspire to have scalability problems. We are going to talk about when we had scalability problems and the approach we used to solve those problems in a “Just In Time” way. I’m Eric and this is Chris. We are from IMVU. IMVU is a site that has had the good fortune to get some traction in the market and have had to solve scalability problems. The two critical pieces of our approach are an agile methodology we call continuous ship and a defect prevention process we call the cluster immune system. We are going to talk about these pieces and then how we applied them to solve a couple scalability problems.
