For the sake of conversation, lets define a term really quickly

Scalability (thanks Wikipedia)

In telecommunications and software engineering, scalability is a desirable property of a system, a network, or a process, which indicates its ability to either handle growing amounts of work in a graceful manner, or to be readily enlarged.

For example, it can refer to the capability of a system to increase total throughput under an increased load when resources (typically hardware) are added. An analogous meaning is implied when the word is used in a commercial context, where scalability of a company implies that the underlying business model offers the potential for economic growth within the company.

Alright, now for the news. Registration has opened for Google’s scalability conference to be held in Seattle on June 23rd. If you are a developer, and you happen to be in Washington around then it is probably not a bad idea to look into it.

Some of the speakers include: Jeff Dean and Marissa Meyer from Google and Werner Vogel from Amazon.

If none of that made much sense to you, you are likely not in their target demographic. Either way, take a look and see if you find something interesting.
