4:10-4:50pm: Val's Presentation
4:50-5:15pm- Questions and raffle winners announced

ABSTRACT:
Distributed platforms, like Apache Ignite® , rely on horizontal scalability. More machines in the cluster lead to the application performance improvements. But do we always double the speed the application performance after adding a second machine to the cluster? Does it perform ten times faster after adding ten machines? Is that [always] true? What is the responsibility of the platform? And where do engineers’ responsibilities begin?

In this talk, attendees will learn about the challenges architects face when designing distributed systems:

Advantages and disadvantages of different data algorithms.
Effective data models for distributed environments. Synchronization and coordination in distributed systems.
