Overview of this book

Have you ever come up against an application that felt like it was built on sand? Maybe you've been tasked with creating an application that needs to last longer than a year before a complete re-write? If so, JavaScript at Scale is your missing documentation for maintaining scalable architectures. There's no prerequisite framework knowledge required for this book, however, most concepts presented throughout are adaptations of components found in frameworks such as Backbone, AngularJS, or Ember. All code examples are presented using ECMAScript 6 syntax, to make sure your applications are ready for next generation browsers.

In Chapter 6, User Preferences and Defaults we looked at configurability, and this is also relevant to the idea of application composition. For example, turning features off, or turning on features that are disabled by default. The composition of our application as a whole has a huge impact on our ability to scale down certain aspects.

The expedient approach to scaling down is turning features off. The difficult part is getting stakeholders to agree that this is a good idea. Then we can just remove the feature, and we're all set, right? Not necessarily. We may have to spend some time taking the feature...
