Scalable & Very High Performance Web Sites: Books, tutorials or other resources?

Question

Most web frameworks and "best practices" are not suitable for very high performance sites and the whitepapers from vendors out there ain't worth the paper they are printed on.

So where should someone look to find books, tutorials or other resources on this subject?

Answer 1

Have a look at Cal Henderson's, 'Building Scalable Websites' by O'Reilly

http://www.amazon.com/Building-Scalable-Web-Sites-Applications/dp/0596102356

he's the guy behind Flickr.

Also have a look at highscalability.com, They have some of the architectures of the most loaded sites out there.
