DeveloperWeek Austin 2019

True tales of tribulations and tragedy from the industry front lines. Learn about common mistakes and less obvious pitfalls with serious consequences. We will share what we have learned from being the data platform of choice of some of the world’s most data-intensive applications. We have been there, seen it ALL, and have the JIRAs to prove it!

Have you sharded too early? Or too late?
Is poor (or lack of) schema design driving up your IOPS costs and killing performance?
Are slow reads costing you customers?
Has lack of serverless led you to overprovision or worse - underprovision?

In this talk, we will offer you strategies and considerations for before you deploy, as well as advice for maintaining robust, rapidly scalable applications. Even if you are already teetering on the edge of an availability abyss, don’t despair. We also offer last minute lifelines to save the day.
