Designing Modern Reliable Architectures

The design of reliable architectures have evolved a lot in the past few years and assumptions that were true for consumer services are no longer effective to provide quality performance for enterprise customers. In the world of globally distributed systems, the most reliable services are those that offer improved observability, allowing for performance troubleshooting, quick outage investigation and fast mitigation. Revenue critical applications must find the correct balance between processing resource cost, performance latency and service availability, often exploring multi-cloud solutions while migrating from a traditional architecture on-prem into a new distributed microservice model in the Cloud.

On this track, you will see a diverse collection of reliability strategies covering finance applications, gaming platforms and other real world segments of the tech industry. Join us to hear reliability practitioners from BigTechs and startups on how they have unlocked improved architectures for their products to meet their customer availability, consistency and performance needs.

How to Build a Reliable Kafka Data Processing Pipeline, Focusing on Contention, Uptime and Latency

Wednesday Jun 14 / 10:35AM EDT

Shifting workloads from synchronous to asynchronous can simplify the operational cost of high-throughput HTTP services. But understanding the evolution of performance metrics in the world of complex, high-concurrency, asynchronous distributed systems can be quite challenging.

Reliable Architectures Through Observability

Wednesday Jun 14 / 02:55PM EDT

We want our systems to be reliable, but testing alone isn't enough. In a complex, multi-service system, it's impossible to test your way to correctness. That's why we need observability. Observability is the ability to see what our code is doing, in production and in development.
