I agree completely. It is frustrating that no decent books have been written regarding scaling architectures/strategies with current tooling. One has to scavenge various blog posts to try and discover ideas that might help solve their growth issues. I would love to see a book that covers scaling for app servers, RDBMSes, NoSql dbs, using queues/messaging effectively, etc. Failing that, I'd like to see something like Scalers at Work (a la Coders at Work) which would interview different devs who had to solve scaling issues.
