ABSTRACT

Web applications have grown in popularity over the past decade. Whether you are building an application for end users or application developers (i.e., services), your hope is most likely that your application will find broad adoption¿and with broad adoption will come transactional growth. If your application relies upon persistence, then data storage will probably become your bottleneck.
