Backends in Dart
Thursday Dec 1 / 09:00AM PST
Dart's popularity has surged in the past few years, as it's the language behind Flutter - Google's cross platform front end framework. That's now driving a notion of 'Full Stack Dart', where if you've spent time learning Dart for the front end, why not also use it for the back end.

24/7 State Replication
Thursday Dec 1 / 10:10AM PST
Systems that operate non-stop, 24/7 are standard in many consumer-facing industries. Often, but definitely not always, these systems do not have aggressive SLAs nor high availability needs to the degree that some financial systems demand. But that is changing.

Ubiquitous Caching: A Journey of Building Efficient Distributed and In-Process Caches at Twitter
Thursday Dec 1 / 11:20AM PST
Modern web applications widely deploy cache across the stack to speed up data access and improve throughput. In this talk, I will discuss three trends in hardware, workload, and cache usage that shape the design of modern caches.

Leveraging Determinism
Thursday Dec 1 / 12:30PM PST
Determinism is a very powerful concept when paired with fast business logic. We discuss both intuitive and not-so-obvious architecture choices that can be made to dramatically scale and simplify systems with these properties.
