State is Hard: An SDK for Building Stateful Applications

Explore the challenges and solutions of building stateful applications in this 38-minute conference talk from the Linux Foundation. Dive into the DC/OS SDK, a powerful tool designed to simplify the development of stateful services on Apache Mesos and DC/OS. Learn about the common patterns shared among popular Big Data systems like Kafka, Cassandra, and HDFS, and discover how the SDK standardizes interactions with Mesos. Gain insights into the interface, internal design, and implementation of services, with a brief demonstration on writing a service. Understand key concepts such as pods, resource sets, sidecars, and failure recovery mechanisms. Led by Gabriel Hartmann, Technical Lead at Mesosphere, Inc., this talk offers valuable knowledge for developers working with distributed systems and stateful applications.
