Distributed Data System 

Abstract:

As you know, Distributed Systems are hard. Why? Where is the state managed? How is it communicated? Is there a “now” in a distributed system? Join us for a conversation on how we think about engineering such systems, what guarantees can be promised “most” of the time in: distributed messaging, distributed stores, propagation of data and consistency of views. We’ll also discuss failure scenarios, leaky abstractions when the guarantees run out and their implications on application behavior & design.
