3. Braintree: Rails high availability.
Braintree is a payment gateway, so downtime directly costs
both us and our merchants money. Therefore, high
availability is extremely important at Braintree. This talk will
cover how we do HA at Braintree on our Ruby on Rails
application.

4. Cloudant: Scaling Geospatial.
Cloudant.com provides a globally distributed, document
database-as-a-service that scales from megabytes to petabytes.
The most recent t addition is geospatial indexing and query
functionality. I'll provide a description of the product
motivation, the technical challenges faced, and the
implementation choices that we made to ensure scalability of
complex queries across an arbitrarily large collection of nodes in
a shared-nothing architecture.
