This evening will try to take a step back to talk about the recent changes in the data & distributed systems worlds. The program is as follows.</p> <p>Guests:</p> <pre><code>Sarah Novotny, Blue Gecko Alex Payne, BankSimple Bradford Stephens, Drawn to Scale Tim Anglade, Cloudant </code></pre> <p>Act 1: Failing</p> <p>Our guests share their shame, as they tell the tale an IT failure they were personally involved in.</p> <p>Act 2: Making Sense</p> <p>Tim Anglade recaps the state, level & tenor of the database discussion, drawing from the fourty interviews he conducted with vendors, deployers & cool dudes for the NOSQL Tapes. He'll cover the disjointed but slowly converging technical efforts, the confusing marketing talk, the ill-advised attempts and emerging lessons from NOSQL & beyond.</p> <p>Act 3: Building</p> <p>Our guests put on the ascott, dust off their snifters, grab a leather chair and join Tim for a fireside chat about what it means to use & build complex data systems today. From the pitfalls to avoid, to the rules you can live by, all drawn from their current experiences building & maintaining large data systems.</p> </div> <h3>Links</h3> <ul> <li><a class="url u-url" href="http://www.meetup.com/updatepdx/events/16416694/">Website</a></li> </ul> </div>
