Thomissa joined the Dropbox Infrastructure team 100 days ago. This presentation will share her experiences developing and rolling out new Disaster Recovery Testing techniques at Dropbox. Tammy will join Thomissa to share how her team runs DRTs and has implemented the techniques Thomissa has evangelized.

Dropbox was founded by engineers, and the ethos of technical innovation is fundamental to our culture. We’ve grown enormously since launching in 2008, surpassing 500 million signups and 500 petabytes of user data. To give you a sense of our incredible growth, we had only about 40 petabytes of user data in 2012! With such rapid growth comes increased failures and operational challenges. We look forward to sharing with you how Dropbox focuses on reliability while scaling.
