RailsConf 2014 - Supercharge Your Workers with Storm by Carl Lerche
If you have ever needed to scale background jobs, you might have noticed that using the database to share information between tasks incurs a serious performance penalty. Trying to process large amounts of data in real-time using the database for coordination will quickly bring your servers to their knees.
This talk will show you how to use Apache Storm, a distributed, realtime computation system, to solve these types of problems in a fast, consistent, and fault-tolerant way.
Carl is currently working at Tilde, a small company he co-founded, where he spends most of his day hacking on Skylight and drinking too much coffee. In the past, he has worked on a number of ruby open source projects, such as Bundler and Ruby on Rails.
