      I recommend these two books:

      - Scalability Rules: 50 Principles for Scaling Web Sites by Martin L. Abbott & Michael T. Fisher

      - Building Scalable Web Sites: Building, Scaling, and Optimizing the Next Generation of Web Applications [Paperback] by Cal Henderson

      I think they are the best resources I have found about the topic. If you are using .Net, like me this is book has good tips as well:

      - Ultra-Fast ASP.NET: Build Ultra-Fast and Ultra-Scalable web sites using ASP.NET and SQL Server by Richard Kiessig
