Distributed Consensus by Jim Webber

Our systems are getting bigger and more ambitious, and the ways they can fail are becoming ever more intricate. As software craftspeople we are adept at understanding the fault-tolerant abstractions like transactions to write high quality application code, but have you ever wondered what goes on underneath these APIs? In this talk we'll discuss how transactions work, think about why they went out of favour for a while, and look at techniques that combine the best of fault-tolerance guarantees for a world both obsessed by scale and beset by chaos. Join the talk if you want to feel happy, scared, puzzled, angry, and ultimately victorious as we develop protocols that are fit for a demanding future! Speaker: Jim Webber Dr. Jim Webber is Neo4j’s Chief Scientist and Visiting Professor at Newcastle University. At Neo4j, Jim leads the Systems Research Group, working on a variety of database systems research topics including query languages and runtimes, scale, and fault-tolerance. He also co-authored several books on graph technology including Graph Databases - 1st and 2nd Editions (O’Reilly), Graph Databases for Dummies (Wiley), and Building Knowledge Graphs (O’Reilly). Prior to Neo4j, Jim worked on fault-tolerant distributed systems. First at Newcastle University startup Arjuna and then for a variety of clients for global consulting firm ThoughtWorks. Along the way Jim co-authored the distrubuted systems books REST in Practice (O’Reilly) and Developing Enterprise Web Services - An Architect’s Guide (Prentice-Hall).
