Emad has spent the past 25 years in various software engineering positions involving software development of application platforms and distributed systems for various industries such as finance, health, IT, and heavy industry – in various international locations. Emad is currently the Sr. Director and Chief Technologist of Application Platforms with Office of the CTO at VMware, focusing on building hybrid cloud distributed runtimes that are application aware.
Come to this session to learn about building application platforms that are capable of handling new deployment paradigms such as microservices, fast data, big data, and functions. While these paradigms have offered immense developer velocity and productivity; they often lead to many challenges at runtime from performance and scalability perspectives.
In-memory databases have now become permanent components of the enterprise application stack, and knowing how to size, scale, and tune them in VMware vSphere or bare metal environments is a paramount skillset. In recent years, we have seen in-memory cluster sizes from 1 to 5 TB of memory within a single cluster driving millions of transactions per day. Not only do these systems have zero tolerance to failure, most expect a predictable throughput and response time. In this session, we visit the most common deployment patterns and what choices you have to make in placing the server components vs. the consumption/ingestion clients. We will also inspect various transaction volumes and discuss common administration tasks.
Zero fluff.
