[edit] Description
Cal talks about definition of scalability, differences between scalability, high availability and performance.
You can learn two main approaches to scalability - vertical and horizontal and why you need horizontal if you want to have long term scalability and why local state is evil.
He also talks about Category:Scaling Databases scaling databases, price of Amazon web services, load balancing (including hardware load balancing, software load balancing and global server load balancing), queuing, caching, data federation and storing/serving files (Flickr's specialty).
Cal sends many kudos to Danga Interactive/LiveJournal.
