Backends in Dart
Monday Oct 24 / 10:35AM PDT
Dart's popularity has surged in the past few years, as it's the language behind Flutter - Google's cross platform front end framework. That's now driving a notion of 'Full Stack Dart', where if you've spent time learning Dart for the front end, why not also use it for the back end.

24/7 State Replication
Monday Oct 24 / 11:50AM PDT
Systems that operate non-stop, 24/7 are standard in many consumer-facing industries. Often, but definitely not always, these systems do not have aggressive SLAs nor high availability needs to the degree that some financial systems demand. But that is changing.

Leveraging Determinism
Monday Oct 24 / 05:25PM PDT
Determinism is a very powerful concept when paired with fast business logic. We discuss both intuitive and not-so-obvious architecture choices that can be made to dramatically scale and simplify systems with these properties.

Data Mesh: Are We There Yet?
Monday Oct 24 / 04:10PM PDT
Standing at an inflection point is a magical experience. It’s where we look at what has come before, learn from it, and choose a new path. Data Mesh has motivated many organizations to stand at an inflection point of their approach to data.

Ubiquitous Caching: A Journey of Building Efficient Distributed and In-Process Caches at Twitter
Monday Oct 24 / 01:40PM PDT
Modern web applications widely deploy cache across the stack to speed up data access and improve throughput. In this talk, I will discuss three trends in hardware, workload, and cache usage that shape the design of modern caches.
