Help! I Accidentally Distributed My System!

Can you tell me about the work you do today?

Rachel: I work at Google on Firebase Security Rules and Google Cloud Policy. Firebase is a Backend As A Service. We provide tools for developers to keep their apps secure. Google Cloud Policy helps system administrators to ensure that all their apps have the same security policy.

Your talk is called  “Help! I accidentally distributed my system.” What is the motivation for it?

Rachel: There is a lot of work being done on building distributed systems. We have been discussing the different aspects of building distributed systems for some time. We felt that there was a need to focus on long-term goals while building systems while taking into account technical decisions that need to be made.
