Track Overview

Resilient Architectures

What does it take to build systems which really embrace resiliency - i.e. the ability to recover when it all goes a bit wrong?
 
In this track we will explore why architecting for resilience is important and what it takes to do this well. We will be looking at this from both a technology perspective and well as a human one, diving into some specific technologies and approaches which can help like continuous verification, but also exploring how good patterns, approaches and retrospective reflections can help to move towards systems that resist falling over, can recover gracefully when they do, or if it really goes wrong, help you learn from it and adapt for the future.

How to Test Your Fault Isolation Boundaries in the Cloud

Tuesday Apr 5 / 04:10PM BST

Will my system keep working when a server fails? When a data center goes offline? When a service dependency is unavailable?Availability calculations for redundant components require that those components are independent and autonomous of each other. But modern day systems are complex, exhibiting...

Resilient Real-Time Data Streaming Across the Edge and Hybrid Cloud

Tuesday Apr 5 / 05:25PM BST

Hybrid cloud architectures are the new black for most companies. A cloud-first strategy is evident for many new enterprise architectures, but some use cases require resiliency across edge sites and multiple cloud regions. Data streaming with the Apache Kafka ecosystem is a perfect technology for...
