If you still haven’t gotten your ticket to RICON West, make sure to grab one before the early bird sale ends on August 29th. RICON West is Riak’s distributed systems conference and will take place in San Francisco on October 29-30th.
RICON West will feature speakers that are using and researching distributed systems to solve a wide range of problems. Some highlights include:
- Jeff Dean, Google Fellow at Google
- Pat Helland, Architect at Salesforce.com
- Jeff Hodges, Distributed Systems Engineer at Twitter
- Michael Bernstein, Software Developer at Paperless Post
- Susan Potter, Lead Software Engineer at Finsignia
- Ryland Degnan and Jason Brown, both Senior Software Engineers at Netflix
- Derek Murray, Researcher at Microsoft Research
- Raja Selvaraj, Data Systems Engineering Manager, and Arvinda Gillella, SUN Architect, at The Weather Company
We will be also hosting a Riak training on October 28th, right before the conference. During this training, you’ll learn about the core principles behind Riak and how it manages to scale both performance and capacity while evenly distributing data throughout the cluster. At the end of the day, you’ll be able to create and deploy your own cluster, as well as be familiar with query patterns, data modeling, and running Riak in production.
Tickets to both RICON West and the Riak Training are available here. Be sure to grab one before they sell out and see who else is attending on the RICON West Lanyrd Directory.
