How can we apply all the resources - computation, networking, user data, media, and science – to deliver a consistent and profitable experience, with agility and efficiency? For Yahoo, the answer has been to embrace cloud computing. In this talk, Geoff will discuss what this really means for software developers within Yahoo, in terms of technologies and engineering practices, and how we intend to transform the development and delivery of Yahoo applications.

Geoff was a Distinguished Engineer @ Sun Microsystems Laboratories. He has a blog dedicated to the issues of Cloud Computing http://speakingofclouds.com (http://speakingofclouds.com/)

Yahoo operates a wide range of global and regional web services, from email to photo sharing, from sports and business news to ecommerce, from social networks to education. Our properties range in size from global behemoths like Yahoo Mail to hyper-local startups. The numbers are huge. Yahoo sites attract more than 680 million users; our Superbowl coverage generated 37 million clicks, and there were 1.2 billion page views of our Oscars site. And this scale carries through to our technology: we analyze 100 billion events every day, and we’re rolling out 135 websites on our new media technology platform this year.

All of this is focused on one end: to deliver the premier digital experience to our users. And this leads to an interesting challenge: how can we apply all of our resources - computation, networking, user data, media, and science – to deliver a consistent and profitable experience, with agility and efficiency? For Yahoo, the answer has been to embrace cloud computing. In this talk, I’ll discuss what this really means for software developers within Yahoo, in terms of technologies and engineering practices, and how we intend to transform the development and delivery of Yahoo applications.
