Cassandra at Netflix 2012

From the very beginning, the engineers at Netflix have made a concerted effort to help educate and support the Apache Cassandra community, not only by contributing code, but also by giving frequent presentations on their own implementation.

Last year's NoSQL at Netflix (https://www.meetup.com/cloudcomputing/events/16395288/) talk was one of the highest attended events in the history of the Silicon Valley Cloud Computing Group. Most recently Jason Brown presented on how Netflix migrated from Oracle to Cassandra.

Once again, Netflix offers to share their knowledge -- this time with evening of presentations by top engineers and architects covering their latest work.

Here is the agenda:
