Abstract

The adoption of web applications both in the internet and enterprise environments along with the usage by a growing number of users are posing great challenges to existing architectures. These challenges involve the integration of content delivery networks, caching applications, Web servers, application servers, and databases. The purpose of this thesis is to analyze the factors that have impact on the performance and scalability of web applications using the OutSystems Agile Platform as a case study. We also study the use of memory and distributed caching that guarantees the requirements of scalability and coherence. We propose modifications in the platform to explore the use of distributed memory for the caching patterns to be used by developers using the OutSystems platform.
