From the abstract: Map Reduce begat Hadoop begat Big Data. NoSQL moved us away from the stricture of monolithic storage architectures to fit-for-purpose designs. But, Houston, we still have a problem – architects are still designing systems like they did in the ‘70s. Yet most systems are still designed for store-then-compute rather than to observe, … Read More

From the abstract: All distributed systems are constrained by their ability to move data between components. We will talk about the engineering discipline required to achieve low latency and high throughput. Examples will be given from low latency C++ and high throughput python components used in SIG’s trading and data analysis stack. SIG is a … Read More

From the abstract: As web applications have become more complex, we’ve addressed performance, usability and scaling concerns by promoting JavaScript from second-class citizen (image rollovers, form validation) to first-class citizen (business logic, app routing, Ajax, templating). However, in doing so, most of us haven’t optimized our process to treat JavaScript and its front-end siblings, CSS … Read More

From the abstract: We are forced to solve many problems with respect to handling data. Many concepts work in our current models, many do not. Picking the wrong model can lead to massive amounts of accidental complexity. “Polyglot data” should not be confused with “polyglot persistence.” The former refers to using multiple data representations in … Read More
Learn the core uses of ZooKeeper in the wild and why it is suited to these use cases. I will also talk about systems that don’t use ZooKeeper and why that can be the right decision. Finally, I will discuss the common challenges of running ZooKeeper as a service and things to look out for when architecting a deployment.
