Re-use content across multiple sites and domains Host many sites on one server set-up Non-technical user interface Low cost of support
WHY UMBRACO IS A GREAT CHOICE FOR LARGE PUBLISHERS
![Page 7: Large scale, cloud computing and scalability with Umbraco](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061210/5491a3b9ac79591b288b45a4/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
UMBRACO IN A LARGE PUBLISHING ENVIRONMENT
Use simple, custom (but generic!) DataTypes for component convergence.
Our goal is to give the editor’s one experience and a consistent flexibility.

UMBRACO IN A LARGE PUBLISHING ENVIRONMENT
Highly configurable, layout and structure-independent templates.
Logical inheritence of templates, even in code - base classes for similar layout templates that share the same data template.

What’s “massive”? Unpredictable traffi c pattern Timezone of audience spread across globe Large amount of content: cache turnover rate High amount of pageviews
CondeNet UK + Italy combined = >100m PVs per month
HANDLING MASSIVE TRAFFIC

Scaling the code Code performance before adding caching
JetBrains dotTrace code profiler (Screenshot)
Even String.Concat rather than String.Format! BoxBinary WebCacheManager framework (Screenshot)
Memcached is great too Lucene indexing of external data sources
Comments, Image + Video assets OutputCaching “icing the cake”

SERVING TRAFFIC
Traditionally:•Managed Servers / Co-location•Multi-year contracts
Cloud Architecture:•Turn an entire data center on or off on-demand•Pick and choose services, managed by experts and you.
•Disposable image-based and role-based machines.•Peristent data stored in the right places

CLOUD MANAGEMENT / LOAD-BALANCED UMBRACO
•Maintain your best-practice hosting and deployment scenarios without a systems team•Easy to manage – consistent API, and tools developed in the community to use it
![Page 18: Large scale, cloud computing and scalability with Umbraco](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022061210/5491a3b9ac79591b288b45a4/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
LOAD-BALANCED UMBRACO
•Disposable web-server templates• Scales up easily• Failures are OK
•NAS has advantages and disadvantages
•Store content safely, synchronise to web nodes
•Our team has integrated distributed source control to the build process• Push build output to a versioned repository• Web nodes pull• Easy to revert
