"Start considering performance and scalability early, create performance models to try to predict key performance metrics and spot bottlenecks and get stuck into some practical proof-of-concept work as your design ideas are forming. This will all help to increase confidence that there aren’t any performance and scalability demons lurking in your design."-Eoin Woods, enterprise architect at UBS Investment Bank. - High-Performance, Scalable Applications on Amazon EC2
