Smart, scalable content distribution

Distributing website content in a microservices-driven architecture is not a trivial task, and it requires solving complex problems stemming from the large number of servers involved and the variety of edge cases that need to be solved. Georgiana Gligor shares a solution to content snapshotting, distribution, and caching in a silo-based architecture involving tens of machines.

Separating data from functionality is one of the tricks to speedier applications, since it allows accessing the right content at the right time. Partitioning data cleverly presents several challenges and requires a unique combination of architecture, DevOps, development, and testing skills. Unless you have such a Swiss Army knife on your team (and are not afraid of the bus factor), you’ll want to learn how Tekkie does it. Georgiana Gligor shares a solution to content snapshotting, distribution, and caching in a silo-based architecture involving tens of machines, walking you through the problems encountered and solutions Tekkie came up with. You’ll leave knowing how to automate content distribution on individual nodes and warm-up caches, all while keeping your website permanently online.
