April meetup featuring Docker and Horizon!

Happy Spring everyone :) We have a few really great talks for our meetup this month and hope you're able to join us!

Talk 1: Nathan LeClaire from Docker -

Realtime Cluster Monitoring with Docker Swarm and Riemann

One of the hardest challenges in distributed systems design and implementation is visualizing and understanding what is happening within your infrastructure. Join Nathan LeClaire, an Open Source Engineer at Docker Inc., for a talk where he will demonstrate monitoring your cluster in realtime using Docker-native orchestration technology Swarm, and the push-based network monitoring system Riemann. Using such tools you can identify and respond to potential or actual production issues faster and better than ever before.

Nathan is a prolific blogger, engineer, and open source technology enthusiast based in San Francisco, CA. He started learning programming on a TI-83+ calculator over 10 years ago, and today his interests are largely in the realm of Golang, automation technology, and distributed systems. When not checking in code or reviewing pull requests Nathan can be found scouring the local grocery stores for the finest quality avocados and listening to live music.

Talk 2: Mike Seid - Founder/CTO of Naytev (https://www.naytev.com)

Build a Realtime Mobile Game in 20 minutes with Horizon and React Native

Using Horizon and React Native, you can build amazing real time games with ease. These super powerful tools allows developers to focus on the experience of the game without having to worry about plumbing, boring CRUD backends and even WebSockets all together. Create amazing realtime games (or products) without compromise. Join me in building a cross platform game in 20 minutes. It'll be fun!

Mike is New Yorker(now in SF) who loves code and building products. Currently Mike is Founder/CTO of Naytev, helping brands and publishers optimize their content for Facebook. Using many different languages and technologies, Mike only settles for realtime systems, which naturally led him to love RethinkDB. Mike has recently put Horizon into production with a side project iPhone game called Spy Hunt.

We'll have pizza and drinks. Nom!
