Fiverr Architecture evolution - from LAMP to DDD / Boris German
In this session we will follow the journey of evolving Fiverr's system architecture, from classic LAMP to Microservices with CQRS and Event Sourcing using Kafka as a message broker. In addition we’ll discuss:
- How software architecture at Fiverr uses modern concepts to allow business and team growth and scalability.
- Pitfalls and challenges of different architectural decisions and how Fiverr engineering culture helps to deal with them.
Realtime Communication Center / Aviel Hershkovitz
It’s alive! A technical session about how Fiverr transformed its communication center from a static email-like experience to a live chat experience. In this session we’ll discuss the impact of immediacy and the architecture we chose in order to achieve it. We’ll cover the concepts of topics and subscriptions in the context of message passing and how it helps us decouple our transportation layer (WebSockets) from its businnes logic.
Redis Streams - extreme distribution at a fraction of complexity / Itamar Haber.
This is a technical introductory session in which we'll discuss messaging and stream processing concepts. Stream processing is a useful pattern for building scalable distributed applications. Somewhat analogous to a message queue, a stream is a list of messages that can be published and subscribed to for real time processing. A stream processing platform such as Apache Kafka enables using this pattern, but is often complex to operate.
