Track: Architectures You've Always Wondered about
Location:
- Grand Ballroom A
Day of week:

"The architecture will work itself out" said no one ever. Come see the newest and biggest internet architectures in the world and how they work. Find out what went well during development, what the architects learned, and what exploded when traffic was expected to double, and it was 3am, and the databases were not responding. Stay for questions, share war stories, and drink brandy (scratch that last one...).
