Adrian Cockcroft Cloud Architect Netflix 
|

Wednesday, August 22, 2012
Netflix has been among the leaders in running NoSQL on Cloud, and we have deployed large scale Cassandra clusters as the primary datastore behind the Netflix streaming service. In this talk we will discuss benchmarks of different EC2 instance types, look at the scalability as both payload and cluster size is increased, and show how to configure Cassandra on EC2 using Priam to maintain availability during node, availability zone or regional outages.
Over the last three years Adrian Cockcroft has managed and architected development of personalization algorithms for the Netflix web site and TV based devices, refactoring code into middle tier services, and development of a new personalization platform optimized for the cloud. He recently moved to the Cloud Systems group, with a focus on performance monitoring and analysis tools.
Adrian is probably best known as the author of several books while a Distinguished Engineer at Sun Microsystems: Sun Performance and Tuning; Resource Management; and Capacity Planning for Web Services. He was also a founding member of eBay Research Labs, where he contributed to the Skype Java API and built mobile application prototypes.
