Session: Practicalities of deploying open source databases

Jordan West, Staff Software Engineer @ Netflix

Deploying Open Source Databases often takes more than downloading the artifact and running it on your server. Control planes need to be built, internal platform tools (logging and metrics) need to be integrated, and it's not uncommon to need to fork the code for your needs leading to questions like how are updates managed and how to contribute back. This talk will look at how Netflix has deployed Apache Cassandra and how it manages all of the aspects of that deployment from automation, monitoring, and development.
