Some of the things covered: – Approaches for making group editors. Operational transformation algorithms with conflicts resolution. – The challenges of distributed data applications. Consistency and durability requirements. – Overview of architectures that we investigated: atomic group broadcast, master-slave replication, distributed caches (Erlang Mnesia, Infinispan). How do you choose the right one? – A scalable and reliable system with Java, Nginx-Clojure, Apache ZooKeeper, AWS S3 and DynamoDB. Lessons learned after a year in production. After this talk you will know: – How real-world group editors work. – Why service discovery and dynamic configuration are important. – Use cases for Apache ZooKeeper, AWS S3 and DynamoDB. Tips and best practices for using them in your project."
