Trust Deterministic Execution to Scale and Simplify Your Systems

Explore how to scale and simplify systems through deterministic execution in this conference talk from YOW! Australia 2023. Learn about architecture choices that can dramatically improve mission-critical business logic, focusing on a case study of building a latency-sensitive exchange around a fast open-source raft cluster. Discover the benefits of re-running core logic at system edges, including decreased bandwidth usage, protection against thundering herd problems, and simplified downstream service logic. Gain insights into optimizing system performance, addressing challenges, and achieving simplicity in complex environments. Delve into topics such as determinism benefits, replay logic for scaling and stabilization, and key considerations for implementing these strategies in your own systems.
