Talk

Beyond the Black Box

In this talk, Oren Eini, founder of RavenDB, will discuss how you can take a non-trivial distributed system and ensure that you have visibility into what is going on there.

No one reads the log, and by the time you get to it, this is too late. We’ll look into metrics and telemetry, self-reflection, and ongoing self-check / anti-entropy processes.

This talk is based on over a decade of running RavenDB in harsh production systems and how we manage to significantly reduce the amount of effort it took to resolve issues in real-world scenarios.
