Modern alternatives !
! Hystrix/RxJava Latency and Fault Tolerance for Distributed Systems Java
lib runs in JVM languages, scala, clojure, etc… from netflix http://blog.josephwilk.net/clojure/building-clojure-services-at-scale.html
! Finagle Pipes-and-Filters meets Futures model. Thrift for RPC ZooKeeper

! Zipkin A distributed tracing system
Apache Mesos Develop and run resource-efficient distributed systems ! !
Cluster manager that simplifies the complexity of running applications on a shared pool of servers.
Learned lessons! ! What things we would do differently?
Thanks!
