Just a very quick post to point out a brief blog entry regarding the concept of scalability as a discipline and the scalability architect as an formal role.
AKF Partners posted a blog entry discussing this issue that is near and dear to my heart. Of particular impact I thought was the concept that the Scalability Architect is also a teacher and has the purview to educate others about scalability concepts. I couldn't agree more!
Take a moment and check out their post.
