Abstract:
The advent and popularization of cloud computing has only helped spur creative explosions in web applications from e-commerce to social networking to gaming, however scaling these applications to meet the ever changing user demand can be a challenge.
Whether you are running a public or private cloud, one of the largest challenges you will face is monitoring your application's performance and underlying infrastructure to enable you to make cost effective business decisions in real time.
Come join in the discussion to learn how Zynga uses technologies like cloudstack, beanstalkd, gearman, mod_gearman, nagios, nagconf and other tools to monitor large web applications at scale deployed in the zCloud.
Matt West is a systems engineer for Zynga Gaming Inc. and has worked on both sides of the computer lines for 15 years; building and scaling web production infrastructure for a variety of applications.
Matt has authored several integral pieces of software to solve the automation puzzle and is a regular contributor to the OpenSource community.
He is always trying to find the next set of problems, challenges and bottlenecks to solve. Using knowledge from both sides of infrastructure, he looks to implement solutions which are fault tolerant, easily consumable, and customized to user demands.
