Operational Automation - Helping Netflix developers sleep at night!

Netflix uses the micro services architecture that collectively do magic together to give customers the end product they love to use. The infrastructure to support this consists of thousands of nodes running hundreds of services. Supporting this scale would be impractical without proper automation to detect and remediate issues.

This session will cover our journey of operational automation and auto remediation for stateful services like cassandra, the pain points we experienced and our path forward. We will share real world examples and details about the tech stack we use including StackStorm.
