Infinite Parallel Universes: State at the Edge
Databases and other systems of state often rely on abstractions that break down at large physical scale. In this talk I'll describe the problems with some of these traditional assumptions, and suggest better approaches for effectively managing data in geographically large networks. With these ideas in mind, I'll then describe the architecture and communication model of a global-scale, edge state system I'm prototyping at Fastly. Attendees should leave with a good understanding of the challenges of state management, when the speed of light can't be ignored.

Cloudstate—Towards Stateful Serverless
Serverless experience is revolutionary and will grow to dominate the future of Cloud. Function-as-a-Service (FaaS) however—with its ephemeral, stateless, and short-lived functions—is only the first step. FaaS is great for processing-intensive, parallelizable workloads, moving data...
