USENIX Conference Policies
Operations at (Small) Scale
Elliott Sims, Backblaze
Backblaze is not a traditional unicorn or unicorn-aspirant. We take a bootstrapped and simple low-cost approach to operations that differs from the current cloud-based trends. This has some key advantages in terms of not requiring heavy VC backing and all that entails, but also presents a different set of challenges. I’ll be describing some of those challenges from the point of view of someone who recently moved from large scale and is now adapting to a smaller scale.
Elliott Sims is a Senior Sysadmin at Backblaze. Previously, he worked at Facebook from 2009-2015 building and maintaining infrastructure through exponential growth.

USENIX is committed to Open Access to the research presented at our events. Papers and proceedings are freely available to everyone once the event begins.
