It's relatively easy to write and deploy a microservice these days, but no microservice is an island, and that's what slows you down. It turns out there are emergent patterns of modern cloud-first architectures which amount to "non-functional" requirements that you otherwise didn't have. Aspects of some problems are unsolvable (consistency, latency), but brittleness and manageability can be addressed with generic, boiler plate patterns, and that's the sort of stuff that you can end up re-...

by Peter Milne
Director of Application Engineering, Aerospike Inc.

The world has an unprecedented number of connected devices. Internet of Things, mobile devices and traditional computers are increasing the demand on on-line services. Both the number of concurrent service requests and the time take to service each request characterizes “High Load”. Peter will present the computing principles that effect “High Load” and how they have been pragmatically applied within the architecture of the Aerospike Database.
