Crosspost! Seastar: C++14 Framework for High-Concurrency, High-Throughput Server

Do Not RSVP On This Meetup. RSVP on the San Francisco Bay Area C++ Meetup (https://www.meetup.com/SF-Bay-Area-Cpp/events/229954656/)

This is a crosspost of a meeting is at the San Francisco Meetup. It is not in the regular schedule or location.

Writing I/O-intensive applications in today's environments, with hundreds of thousands of available SSD iops, dozens of cores, and tens-of-gigabits-per-second network interfaces, is more challenging than ever. We will present Seastar, a modern, open-source C++14 framework for writing 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.
