DevOps brings proven benefits—continuous deployment models, reduced organizational friction, and tighter feedback loops—by automating the deployment pipeline. But DevOps is also about building a culture that unifies a team to be empathy driven and customer focused, willing to take risks, and ultimately build a better product. David Hayes explores the benefits DevOps brings beyond automation, explaining the importance of shared operational responsibility on organizational culture, why reliability means both systems and people, and how aggregating alerts helps to maintain situational awareness. This keynote is sponsored by PagerDuty.

Making sense of exactly-once semantics

Making sense of exactly-once semantics

November 18, 2019

Exactly-once semantics is a highly desirable property for streaming analytics. Ideally, all applications process events once and never twice, but making such guarantees in general either induces significant overhead or introduces other inconveniences, such as stalling. Flavio Junqueira explores what's possible and reasonable for streaming analytics to achieve when targeting exactly-once semantics.

Triggers in Apache Beam (incubating): User-controlled balance of completeness, latency, and cost in streaming big data pipelines

November 16, 2019

Drawing on important real-world use cases, Kenneth Knowles delves into the details of the language- and runner-independent semantics developed for triggers in Apache Beam, demonstrating how the semantics support the use cases as well as all of the above variability in streaming systems. Kenneth then describes some of the particular implementations of those semantics in Google Cloud Dataflow.
