Swept away at Surge 3
Last week I attended Surge up in Baltimore, and for the first time in over a decade I had the exhilarating sensation of being out of my depth. Since it was a small conference with some of the big players in web-scale applications and content delivery, there’s good reason for that, but it inspires me to pick up the pace in following some technologies I’ve only been tangentially aware of.
The most interesting talks were:- Scalable Design Patterns, Theo Schlossnagle
- Enterprise solutions from commodity components, Brian Cantrill
- Growth at Gilt Group, Geir Magnusson, Jr.
- Why some architects almost never shard their applications, Baron Schwartz
I should find more to say about them, but the primary reason I haven’t been blogging much that last few months is that I try to take on too much writing too late in the evening, then run out of steam—so just take my recommendations for what they are.
All of the presentations are supposed to posted within a few weeks. I need to go back and watch a few that I missed. To wit, Artur Bergman on scaling Wikia, Justin Sheehy on Concurrency, Benjamin Black on Netflow (if time) and Neil Gunther on Quantifying Scalability.
