Concurrent Programming for Scalable Web Architectures by Benjamin Erb.
Abstract:
Web architectures are an important asset for various large-scale web applications, such as social networks or e-commerce sites. Being able to handle huge numbers of users concurrently is essential, thus scalability is one of the most important features of these architectures. Multi-core processors, highly distributed backend architectures and new web technologies force us to reconsider approaches for concurrent programming in order to implement web applications and fulfil scalability demands. While focusing on different stages of scalable web architectures, we provide a survey of competing concurrency approaches and point to their adequate usages.
High Scalability has a good list of topics and the table of contents.

Just in case you are thinking about taking your application to “web scale.” 😉
