Building Stateful Clustered Microservices with Actors and Kubernetes
11:30/12:10
When building microservices or web apps, we often take the path of least resistance and go with a stateless approach. The justification is that going the stateful route is too hard and too complicated. Based on the state of the tools that we typically use to build apps, going stateless is a wise decision given that the commonly used backend toolsets and frameworks tend to shy away from dealing with distributed, clustered systems. However, with the spectacular rise of Kubernetes, many developers are diving head first into the clustered world. This mass migration to the clustered, scalable, and

He has had a long career building applications that evolved slowly, that inefficiently utilized their infrastructure, and were brittle and prone to failure. Hugh has learned from his past mistakes, battle scars, and a few wins. And the learning never stops. Now his focus is on helping other developers and architects build resilient, scalable, reactive systems.
