The Computing Podcast

Welcome to our 5rd episode. This is the second part of a two part series where go deep into the internals of Yugabyte with Karthik and Kannan. Yugabyte is a highly scalable and developer friendly open source distributed SQL database. Yugabyte is built by an Ex-Facebook team that wanted to bring what they learnt running one of the latest databases on the planet out into the open source world. One thing I find really fascinating with Yugabyte is that they are fully compatible with Postgres,...

Welcome to our 3nd episode. This is the second part of a two part series where we walk through a stateful distributed system. Join us as we take apart the famous Apache Kafka so as to look under the hood and understand more of the amazing engineering and computer science that has gone into building it. In this part we’ll talk about Apache Zookeeper the best kept secret in a lot of open source distributed systems. We’ll also touch upon clients, atomic broadcasts and things that can hurt...

Welcome to our 2nd episode. This is the first part of a two part series where we walk through a stateful distributed system. Join us as we take apart the famous Apache Kafka so as to look under the hood and understand more of the amazing engineering and computer science that has gone into building it. We’ll touch upon consensus algorithms, guarantees and the path taken by a message making its way through Kafka. Follow us on Twitter @dosco @strlen Links Kafka design Virtual synchrony The Log...

This is the first episode of the Computing Podcast. There's massive innovation happening in all layers of the modern application. Starting from cloud substrates all the way to the edges like your browser or an IoT device. Today we begin by talking about the fourth wave of distributed systems. Going from NoSQL to NewSQL.
