Resilient, Performant, & Secure Distributed Systems
Design and build secure, robust, complex systems
Failure is inevitable given the complexity of our systems. Hear insider accounts of failures and learn how to efficiently detect and recover from them, as well as how complex technical systems and problems introduce risk and security issues. Learn the principles and practices for designing and managing systems that are secure, robust, adaptable, and can gracefully recover from failure, including topics related to building and maintaining complex systems, site reliability engineering, infrastructure as code, chaos engineering, and more.
We'll help you solve your toughest challenges with real-world advice from leaders in the field who have grappled with the same problems you're facing today. Like how to:
- Make distributed system development easier and more reliable
- Build robust distributed systems using containers
- Increase system predictability by identifying processes that can benefit the most from automation
- Keep your serverless apps secure and resilient
- Deal with sensitive data in distributed systems
