This work aims to present a new approach on data centers monitoring. We make use of Complex Event Processing (CEP) to provide both efficient data visualization and significant threats and opportunities patterns detection. Our architecture defines a data bus that receives events from several data sources. Configuration items like servers, routers or applications send events to the data bus, whil...

Postgres has a long and stable legacy, but with that comes some steadfast design principals that don't always jive with operability in large systems. Fixing these issues in-kernel is an epic undertaking in both code complexity and social complexity, and sometimes it just proves easier to do it your damn self. In this talk, we'll deep dive into the development and refinement of a low-level bloat...

There's nothing quite like learning from failures. Even, or perhaps especially, systems with good architectures have failure modes that can cause acute pain. In this session, we'll cover some examples of architectural choices and failure scenarios that we at Message Systems have experienced in production environments with high volume and high concurrency messaging requirements.

Coding for Failure will walk you through everything you need to know for building fault tolerant applications that degrade gracefully in the face of adversity. During the presentation, you'll learn how to avoid the most common bad practices and how to minimize the impact of often forgotten error scenarios. We'll walk through practical examples including consuming external resources, handling em...

Summary In this presentation filmed during Agile 2008, Henrik Kniberg talks about 10 possible reasons to fail while doing Scrum and XP. Maybe the team does not have a definition of what Done means to them, or they don't know what their velocity is, or they don't hold retrospectives. Bio Henrik Kniberg is a consultant at Crisp in Stockholm, specializing in Java and Agile software development. He...

Summary In this presentation filmed during Agile 2008, David Douglas and Robin Dymond discuss about companies which try to adopt Agile, but don't go all the way, resulting in failure and rejection of it, and predictably having a negative impact on Agile's future. Bio David Douglas is a career consultant for Fortune 500 and mid-sized companies in a wide array of industries and co-founder of Inno...
