The talk introduces distributed messaging then explains what it is and how it allows us to build Internet-scale distributed systems.
While focusing on challenges of managing such distributed systems, I will explain why most of today’s messaging fabric is not really friendly to monitoring and management, as well as why most of the tasks encountered are painful to accomplish at best and impossible to do at worst. Finally the talk shows how distributed messaging, by the virtue of being simply an additional layer in the network stack, can easily solve problems such as monitoring load and connectivity problems, resource provisioning based on business criteria, or even complex DevOps tasks such as distributed debugging.
