Running Netflix on Cassandra in the Cloud

Explore Netflix's transition from a traditional datacenter-based architecture to a large-scale cloud-based system using Cassandra in this conference talk. Dive into the automation and open-sourcing of Cassandra management for multiple clusters and hundreds of nodes using Priam and Astyanax. Learn about backups, archiving, and performance and scalability benchmarks. Discover the Cassandra service pattern, production deployment strategies, high availability techniques, and triple replicated persistence. Examine Cassandra instance architecture, query examples, and data flow optimizations for multi-region writes. Gain insights into Cassandra backup processes, the Cassandra Explorer tool, and ETL for Cassandra. Review open-source projects, scalability tests on AWS, and performance comparisons between disk and SSD. Witness a live demo workload and Jmeter setup, and explore future steps, including the "Hacktion" concept and implementation plans.
