Stepping Up to Scale

Matt Davis, OpenX

Abstract:

We all know the scenario: what was once an experiment soon becomes a desired product. Suddenly it's time to scale the system, and all the time we hear about running "at scale," but what does that really mean? This talk is about the challenges OpenX faces when scaling a small proof-of-concept to a complex global product. It focuses on our strategies for planning, adapting, and growing distributed systems into fully productionized services.

Matt Davis is a Sr. Site Reliability engineer in Platform Engineering at OpenX. As an expert on running some of the largest Riak clusters on the planet, Matt has given talks about operating distributed platforms at everything from small hackerspace meetups, to RICON and SCaLE. His work at OpenX designing, instrumenting, and scaling our Riak KV clusters gives him a unique perspective on operational growth with distributed systems.
