Trillions of requests.
Petabyte scale.
Unprecedented functionality.
Yesterday's hyperbole is today's reality.
Some companies have created systems so large they are difficult to comprehend. Despite fears of AI coming for everyone's jobs, mere mortals are responsible for designing, building, and operating these software behemoths.
For everyone who has sat in awe and thought "how did they do that?" QCon presents Architectures You've Always Wondered About. Continuing a tradition since the first QCon 18 years ago, this flagship track brings together a collection of stories from innovative companies who are pushing the limits with modern software systems.
Be inspired by speakers sharing real-world examples of how they've scaled systems to handle massive amounts of traffic, data, and complexity. Learn from their challenges so you're prepared for your own journey to hyperbolic scale.
