Conference: March 4-6, 2015
Track: Reactive Architecture
Location:
- Fleming, 3rd flr.
Day of week:
- Thursday
Learning about how to create reactive systems is more than simply learning a new framework. Thinking in a reactive fashion helps you to design more responsive, more robust architectures. Learn all about the latest trends in this track.

Halo 4 is a first-person shooter on the Xbox 360, with fast-paced, competitive gameplay. To complement the code on disc, a set of services were developed to store player statistics, display player presence information, deliver daily challenges, modify playlists, catch cheaters and more. As of June 2013 Halo 4 had 11.6 million players, who played 1.5 billion games, logging 270 million hours of gameplay.

The future of software is distributed, and successful distributed systems (in all realms) depend on contracts, which means protocols. Yet protocol design is a black art, poorly understood and rarely taught. Protocols are typically laborious to develop, over-complex, and slow to adapt. Yet decentralised, large-scale reactive systems need decentralized, reactive protocol development. The high cost and red tape of protocol design is a major problem in our industry. Pieter Hintjens presents a...

So, you're building responsive and resilient applications, scaling to deal with an ever expanding firehose of events arriving at your front door. You're filling storage by the terabyte without even trying, and that needs to be resilient, and responsive, and scalable too. So obviously you're storing your data using... well... what? Is there really a single technology that meets all your needs for persistence? And are the 'conventional' technologies really a lost cause?
In this talk we'...

The Lightning Memory-Mapped Database was introduced at LDAPCon 2011 and has been enjoying tremendous success in the intervening time. The success of LMDB has led down many different paths:
Use of LMDB eliminated bottlenecks at the database level but revealed the presence of other bottlenecks in the slapd code. Recently a number of these other bottlenecks have also been removed, yielding even greater performance gains. LMDB has proved to be a superior database engine for many other...

Accessing a database can take 100s of micro-seconds, while caching large datasets on the heap can incur multi-second GC pauses.
An alternative is to use memory map files to store data for micro-second read/write times and very fast application restart.
For data driven reactive systems, how do you realistically profile your latency distribution in a test environment? How to you find rare bugs which only occur after millions of events and have confidence you have fixed them? How...

What is Open Space?
Every day at QCon London, we’ll open space five times, once for each track. Open Space is a kind of unconference, a simple way to run productive meetings for 5 to 2000 or more people, and a powerful way to lead any kind of organization in everyday practice and extraordinary change.
