This evening will try to take a step back to talk about the recent changes in the data & distributed systems worlds. The program is as follows.
Guests:
* Sarah Novotny, Blue Gecko
* Alex Payne, BankSimple
* Bradford Stephens, Drawn to Scale
* Tim Anglade, Cloudant
Act 1: Failing
Our guests share their shame, as they tell the tale an IT failure they were personally involved in.
Act 2: Making Sense
Tim Anglade recaps the state, level & tenor of the database discussion, drawing from the fourty interviews he conducted with vendors, deployers & cool dudes for the NOSQL Tapes. He'll cover the disjointed but slowly converging technical efforts, the confusing marketing talk, the ill-advised attempts and emerging lessons from NOSQL & beyond.
Act 3: Building
Our guests put on the ascott, dust off their snifters, grab a leather chair and join Tim for a fireside chat about what it means to use & build complex data systems today. From the pitfalls to avoid, to the rules you can live by, all drawn from their current experiences building & maintaining large data systems.
