Categorizing your workload
Knowing the workload pattern (publish/subscribe or customer self-service, for example) determines where to focus scalability efforts, and which scaling techniques to apply. For example, a customer self-service site such as an online bank needs to focus on transaction performance and the scalability of databases that contain customer information used across sessions. These considerations would not typically be significant for a publish/subscribe site.
