Description
True tales of tribulations and tragedy from the field. Learn about common mistakes and less obvious pitfalls with serious consequences. We are here to share what we have learned from being the data platform of choice of some of the world’s most data-intensive applications. We have been there, seen it ALL, and have the JIRAs to prove it!
- Are you struggling to scale?
- Have you sharded too early? Or too late?
- Is poor (or lack of) schema design driving up your IOPS costs and killing performance?
- Are slow reads costing you customers?
- Has lack of serverless led you to overprovision or worse - underprovision?
In this talk, we will offer you strategies and considerations for before you deploy, as well as advice for maintaining robust, rapidly scalable applications. Even if you are already teetering on the edge of an availability abyss, don’t despair. We also offer last minute lifelines to save the day.
Whether you are a developer, DevOps, or the last guy holding the bag, if you fear you might become THAT guy, don’t miss THIS talk!
** names of THOSE guys have been withheld to protect the innocent.**
Notes
Why should they attend? I want to instill fear of the upgrading gods in the audience. I don’t want developers to rest on their laurels. If the application is not being maintained, it is at risk. And nowadays, maintaining an application robustly and securely has never been easier. I want to help the audience make better design decisions today based on the application’s uses tomorrow.
