About the track
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.
The day in the host's words
Sessions in this track
Wednesday 14 June. 6 sessions per track, chosen and introduced by the Track Host.
10:35 Salon A-C Session Kafka How to Build a Reliable Kafka Data Processing Pipeline, Focusing on Contention, Uptime and Latency Lily Mara Engineering Manager @OneSignal 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. 11:50 Carroll Gardens Unconference Unconference: Designing Modern Reliable Architectures What is an unconference? An unconference is a participant-driven meeting. Attendees come together, bringing their challenges and relying on the experience and know-how of their peers for solutions. 13:40 Salon A-C Session Architecture Building an Architecture to Predict Customer Behavior in a Revenue-Critical System Yves Junqueira Distinguished Software Engineer @Neon At Neon digital bank in Brazil, we strive to make revenue-impacting predictions based on customer behavior. Building a low latency and high availability distributed system that meets this requirement becomes especially challenging. 14:55 Salon A-C Session Architecture Reliable Architectures Through Observability Kent Quirk Staff Engineer @Honeycomb.io 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. 16:10 Salon A-C Session Developer Environment Architecting a Production Development Environment for Reliability Henrique Andrade Production Engineer @Meta At Meta, developers use a combination of development servers, including virtual machines and physical hosts, as well as on-demand containers to perform their daily software engineering work. 17:25 Salon A-C Session Cloud Architecture Survival Strategies for the Noisy Neighbor Apocalypse Meenakshi Jindal Staff Software Engineer @Netflix Noisy neighbor issues are a common challenge for multi-tenant platforms, leading to resource contention, performance degradation, and costly downtime for other tenants sharing the same resources.QCon New York 2023 is a three day conference for senior software engineers, architects and team leads. An international program committee of working engineers selects every session. Patterns and practices, not products and pitches.
