Presentation: "Uptime in High Volume Messaging Systems — Lessons Learned"

Time: Thursday 15:35 - 16:35

Location: Metropolitan Ballroom II & III

Abstract: This talk will cover lessons learned at Urban Airship building highly available, high volume messaging systems that operate with a minimum of customer-visible downtime. We will highlight techniques and practices from low-level software idioms, mid-level component approaches up through higher-level architecture philosophies that are currently in production at Urban Airship serving billions of notifications to hundreds of millions of devices. The talk will not only cover current approaches but will also include unsuccessful approaches that should generally be avoided.
