Transcending the Barriers to Elasticity

Distributed systems expert Jonas Bonér discusses the most common barriers to building highly responsive applications and the fundamental principles that can help unlock the capabilities of cloud, multi-cloud, and edge to building truly elastic, resilient, and agile digital experiences. 

He explores asynchronous messaging, physically co-locating the data and processing with the end user, decentralized self-organization and replication across discrete environments, building services that are autonomous, self-healing, self-replicating, mobile, and location transparent—as a way to deliver guaranteed application resilience, elasticity, cloud and data sovereignty, nearly infinite throughput, end-user low latency, and infrastructure efficiency.
