Come celebrate two years of PDXCloud with us. There will be cake! And of course pizza, beer, and other refreshments.</p> <p>Our first topic is presented by Ryan Dearing: Building a Fault Tolerant API with Hystrix</p> <p>See how Bodybuilding.com utilizes Hystrix to scale a REST API beyond a hundred million requests every day. Learn how we use Hystrix to build a distributed system that is both fault and latency tolerant. We will discuss the bulkhead and circuit breaker patterns used by Hystrix to provide a resilient and fast API.</p> <p>The second talk will be an "Intro to Splunk", presented by Jason LaPier, Lead Architect of Elemental Technologies' Cloud platform.</p> <p>On the surface, Splunk is a log aggregator, but once you start to go beyond that, you can see the potential and the power of Splunk as a data management tool. I’ll briefly go over the components and architecture of Splunk, some of the key features and product offerings, and then dive into a demo of how it works and how we use it at Elemental. Centralized logging is a critical tool in a cloud-based environment, as it lets you review the history and analysis of data from instances that have come and gone at any time.</p> <p>As always, doors will open at 6:30PM, so feel free to show up a little early to grab food and drink and do some socializing. Presentation will start at 7PM.</p> </div> <h3>Links</h3> <ul> <li><a class="url u-url" href="http://pdxcloud.org">Website</a></li> </ul> </div>
