Abstract
Response time is a key differentiation among electronic commerce (e-commerce) applications. For many e-commerce applications, Web pages are created dynamically based on the current state of a business stored in database systems. Recently, the topic of Web acceleration for database-driven Web applications has drawn a lot of attention in both the research community and commercial arena. In this paper, we analyze the factors that have impacts on the performance and scalability of Web applications. We discuss system architecture issues and describe approaches to deploying caching solutions for accelerating Web applications. We give the performance matrix measurement for network latency and various system architectures. The paper is summarized with a road map for creating high performance Web applications. works, caching appliances, Web servers, application servers, and databases.
