Agenda
18:45 - 19:30
Speaker: David Martinez
Distributed Data Consistency
When working on a monolith with a single database, maintaining data consistency in your system is quite easy, even if you have a replicated database across different regions, data consistency is usually handled by the database engine.
This change in a microservices application. When working with multiple database and services distributed across the network, the responsibility of maintaining consistency goes back to us the developers, and it is not a trivial problem to solve.
In this talk we will look at several of the most common issues you can face when not taking data consistency into account, some of the most popular techniques to deal with this, and a couple of real work examples from my personal experience.
19:30 - 21:00
Speaker: Pau Lopez
The K8s Abstraction: One level below
Abstractions like Kubernetes are good but we should always understand at least one level below. From my experience that helps a lot in the learning process of building a mental model to use the abstraction properly.
Don’t get me wrong this is not going to be a basic talk about Kubernetes, as promised we will go one level below the Kubernetes abstraction to better understand the internals of its architecture (control plane, etcd, kubelet and kubeproxy) and its basic resources (Pod, Service and Deployments).
