ApacheCon North America 2014

Need to run applications in the cloud but don't have the budget of Netflix? This talk will cover best practices for running your application on scaled down servers without sacrificing performance.

Not everyone running their apps in the cloud is Netflix or Zynga and needs to deploy and manage tens of thousands of servers. Cloud vendors also provide micro instances with limited memory and CPU resources at very affordable prices or even free. Properly configured, these machines can be excellent servers for blogs, content management systems, code hosting repositories, forums and more. This talk will cover best practices for scaling down your application in the cloud without compromising performance. It will draw on the lessons-learned running Bitnami, the number one library of open source applications for the Amazon and Azure clouds, with over one million deployments each month.
