what’s scalarium?

keep data in memory
cache is king
use raids for ebs
use local storage
use bigger instances
scalarium is ~monolithic
cloud ≠ monolithic
cloud ☠ centralized
small, independent services
self-contained
independently deployable
well defined apis
http/json thrift protocol buffers

fail fast
retry
internal queues

understand your code’s breaking points
isn’t all that what you do at large scale?
cloud == large scale

lack of visibility
don’t fall for service level agreements
amazon only handles infrastructure
how you build on it is up to you
fun fact
amazon.com is served off ec2
thank you!
