Ask HN: Good books on scalability

1 points by aman-pro 8 years ago | 1 comment

Is there any good book that talks about scalable web application? By scalability I mean not just scaling in terms of infrastructure but also design.

We want to build something similar to JIRA that will allow it's users to make things as configurable as possible. Also, it's important to allow 3rd party developers to develop things on top of our platform.

I'm looking for some books or resources that can help us build a perfectly modular and scalable/extendable codebase.

In terms of software design, I found that Designing Data Intensive Applications to be very informative, I am going to give it another read next year. It cites a lot of references at the end of every chapter for the reader to explore the various topics further.
