How can big data or highly responsive applications scale to the increasing demands for speed and short response time? Adding more servers to the cluster is not the answer. The smartness comes from being lazy as laziness can translate to efficiency and scalability. In this presentation we will learn about what lazy evaluation is, explore some data structures and APIs that promote lazy execution, and tie it back into scalability and efficiency.
