Seastar: C++14 framework for High Concurrency, High Throughput Servers

For the next meetup, Avi Kivity will be presenting on Seastar.

Abstract:

Writing I/O intensive applications in today's environments, with hundreds of thousands of available SSD IOPS, dozens of cores, end tens of gigabits per second network interfaces, is more challenging than ever. We will present Seastar, a modern, open-source C++14 framework for wring high concurrency, high throughput server applications. Seastar is the framework behind ScyllaDB, a drop-in Apache Cassandra replacement that provides 10X throughput improvements on the same hardware.
