Seastar: a C++14 Framework for High-Concurrency, High-Throughput Servers

Details

This meetup falls outside our usual monthly schedule.
Notice the different location.

Writing I/O-intensive applications in today's environments, with hundreds of thousands of available SSD iops, dozens of cores, and tens-of-gigabits-per-second network interfaces, is more challenging than ever. We will present Seastar, a modern, open-source C++14 framework for writing high-concurrency, high-throughput server applications. Seastar is the framework behind ScyllaDB, a drop-in Apache Cassandra replacement that provides 10X throughput improvements on the same hardware.

Avi Kivity, the CTO of ScyllaDB, is known mostly for starting the Kernel-based Virtual Machine (KVM) project, the hypervisor underlying many production clouds. He has worked for Qumranet and Red Hat as KVM maintainer until December 2012. Avi is now CTO of ScyllaDB, a company that seeks to bring the same kind of innovation to the NoSQL space.
