In a long-lived distributed system, the challenges of scaling shift from simple load (“can we handle peak load on New Year’s Eve?”) to more organizational problems of managing failure domains and development complexity. Changing one binary is hard enough – spreading dependencies across 15 or 50 poses a new set of challenges. From breaking systems into microservices to engineering for organizational resilience, this session discusses long-game approaches to making sure systems and organizations can support continuous innovation.
