The authors of Fundamentals of Software Architecture, Mark Richards and Neal Ford, often answer questions and generally network with other architects at in-person events, which are sadly on hold at the moment. Thus, to provide another benefit to the existing and growing software architecture community, we’re hosting Foundations Fridays Forum, a free 30 minute topic-based question and answer session each month on the last Friday of the month. We set the topic; you come armed with questions. Note that these forums are not recorded. Keep an eye on this space for upcoming dates and topics.
Please spread the word–and we hope to see you in the Forum on Friday! We’ll post topics and dates here on a regular basis. Seating is limited, so register early and sign in early to ensure a seat.

Topic: Architecting For Elasticity
What are the differences between scalability and elasticity? How do they differ from an architecture standpoint? How do you design a system to support spikes of 10's of thousands or even 100's of thousands of concurrent users? In this forum we will answer questions about elasticity and how it relates to architecture.
