Thanks to everyone who has supported The Art of Scalability with purchases, reviews, tweets, posts, and more. Because of the interest shown in this topic of scalability we’ve put our heads together with our publisher, Addison-Wesley, and have come up with an idea that we think is pretty exciting. Fish and I have just signed a contract for our second book with the working title of Scalability Rules. We are looking forward to working with the talented team of editors and reviewers that our publisher has put together.  The book will be a short, technically focused book offering the most common principles we use with our clients to help them scale their hyper growth technology platforms.

We expect the book to come in at about 200 pages and sell for considerably less than The Art of Scalability.  Our intent is to make it useful both as a primer on scalability as well as a reference manual for technical organizations.

We’ll keep you posted on our progress and we’d love to hear your ideas on topics that should be covered. Scalability Rules should be available mid to late 2011.  Now – back to writing our new book!
