O'Reilly Tech Leader Meetup: developing distributed data systems
We're bringing together data and engineering leaders for an afternoon of great food, networking, and a fireside chat with Martin Kleppman, author of Designing Data-Intensive Applications.
Join us for lunch and a conversation with Martin Kleppmann, and Adam Shone, Principal Engineer at Thought Machine, to explore principles and best practices for developing distributed data systems. Hear about the new technologies and trends that have emerged since the acclaimed first edition of Martin's book was published in 2017. Ask questions, listen to stories, and connect with other data and engineering leaders.
Peer under the hood of the systems you already use and learn to use them more effectively
Make informed decisions by identifying the strengths and weaknesses of different tools
Navigate the trade-offs around consistency, scalability, fault tolerance, and complexity
Understand the distributed systems research upon which modern databases are built
Peek behind the scenes of major online services and learn from their architectures
This will be a room full of smart people, big ideas, new perspectives, and plenty of time to connect with peers.
