CPU and RAM costs continue to plummet. Multi-core systems are ubiquitous. Writing code is easier than it has ever been. Why, then, is it still so darn hard to make a scalable system?

Expect the unexpected: Prepare for failures in microservicesBhakti Mehta
My talk at Confoo 2016 Montreal
It is well said that "The more you sweat on the field, the less you bleed in war". Failures are an inevitable part of complex systems. Accepting that failures happen, will help you design the system's reactions to specific failures.
This talks on best practices for building resilient, stable and predictable services:
preventing Cascading failures, Timeouts pattern, Retry pattern,Circuit breakers
and many more techniques in microservices

Cloud Expo New York: OpenFlow Is SDN Yet SDN Is Not Only OpenFlow
Software Defined Networking (SDN) is a new approach to networking, both to the data centre, and as a connection across data centers. SDN defines the networks in software, meaning designers can operate, control, and configure networks without physical access to the hardware. Effectively, SDN frees the network and applications from underlying hardware. New technologies are making it possible for enterprises to use virtualized networks over any type of hardware in any physical location - including unifying physical data centers and federating cloud-based data centers.
In his session at the 12th International Cloud Expo, Patrick Kerpan, the CEO and co-founder of CohesiveFT, will highlight customer use cases to demonstrate a broader SDN definition.
(ARC401) Cloud First: New Architecture for New InfrastructureAmazon Web Services
What do companies with internal platforms have to change to succeed in the cloud? The five pillars at the heart of IT solutions in the cloud are automation, fault tolerance, horizontal scalability, security, and cost-effectiveness. This talk discusses tools that facilitate the development and automate the deployment of secure, highly available microservices. The tools were developed using AWS CloudFormation, AWS SDKs, AWS CLI, Amazon RDS, and various open-source software such as Docker. The talk provides concrete examples of how these tools can help developers and architects move from beginning/intermediate AWS practitioners to cloud deployment experts.
How Cisco Migrated from MapReduce Jobs to Spark Jobs - StampedeCon 2015StampedeCon
At the StampedeCon 2015 Big Data Conference: The starting point for this project was a MapReduce application that processed log files produced by the support portal. This application was running on Hadoop with Ruby Wukong. At the time of the project start it was underperforming and did not show good scalability. This made the case for redesigning it using Spark with Scala and Java.
Initial review of the Ruby code revealed that it was using disk IO excessively, in order to communicate between MapReduce jobs. Each job was implemented as a separate script passing large data volumes through. Spark is more efficient in managing intermediate data passed between MapReduce jobs – not only it keeps it in memory whenever possible, it often eliminates the need for intermediate data at all. However, that alone not brought us much improvement since there were additional bottlenecks at data aggregation stages.
The application involved a global data ordering step, followed by several localized aggregation steps. This first global sort required significant data shuffle that was inefficient. Spark allowed us to partition the data and convert a single global sort into many local sorts, each running on a single node and not exchanging any data with other nodes. As a result, several data processing steps started to fit into node memory, which brought about a tenfold performance improvement.
Docker in Production, Look No Hands! by Scott CoultonDocker, Inc.
In this session we will talk about HealthDirect’s journey with Docker. We will follow the life cycle of a container through our CD process to its home in our swarm cluster with just a git commit thanks to configuration management. We will cover the CD process for Docker, Docker swarm, Docker networking and service discovery. The audience will leave with a solid foundation of how to build a production ready swarm cluster (A github repo with code will be given). They will also have the knowledge of how to implement a CD framework using Docker.
