HYBRID: Immutable Databases to Set Your Distributed System Free

Writing software is just great until you need to get two different machines to agree on some state. Then you have to start solving some difficult problems. In Clojure we can see how immutable data makes building concurrent programs manageable -- what if we could apply those same lessons to our distributed systems? We'll talk about what an immutable database is, how it works in principle and in practice, and why you'll want to use one to make your life easier.

The talk will also be streamed live and a VOD will be posted later: https://youtube.com/live/zx4HGVx9NR8
