The Netflix service supports more than 50 million subscribers in over 40 countries around the world. These subscribers use more than 1,000 different device types to connect to Netflix, resulting in massive amounts of traffic to the service. In our distributed environment, the gateway service that receives this customer traffic needs to be able to scale in a variety of ways while simultaneously protecting our subscribers from failures elsewhere in the architecture. This talk will detail how the Netflix front door operates, leveraging systems like Hystrix, Zuul, and Scryer to maximize the AWS infrastructure and to create a great streaming experience.
