Building a server environment that’s scalable and reliable can be tough, especially when your traffic goes "nuts" virtually overnight. Fast Company Live presents a special one-hour live webinar, moderated by Robert Scoble and featuring a panel of tech leaders from companies big to small who are facing these very issues.

Join renown tech blogger Robert Scoble for a Fast Company Live Webinar about improving scalability and performance.

Scoble will host a discussion covering architectural choices, growth hurdles and how the panelists overcame them. The first half-hour will be devoted to the panel discussion, while the second half-hour will be open to live questions from registered webinar attendees.

Guests include:

Dorion Carroll: VP of engineering at Technorati.

Paul Bucheit: One of the founders of FriendFeed and the creator of Gmail.

Nat Brown: CTO of iLike, a music community service that had one of the first Facebook apps.
