Presentation: "Dynamo: Theme and Variations"

Time: Friday 16:00 - 16:50

Location: Grand Ballroom BC

Abstract: The Dynamo paper, released by Amazon five years ago, laid out a set of technical "themes" for highly available, fault-tolerant distributed systems. Since then, numerous NoSQL products have been built on its core principles. These "variations," along with recent advances in research, represent both a fascinating study in technical evolution and the forefront of the non-relational world. In this talk, we'll cover the foundations of Dynamo - consistent hashing, vector clocks, hinted handoff, gossip protocol - advances in each area, and how querying and application development has changed as a result of them.
