Distributed Log-Processing Design Workshop

Participants will have the opportunity to try their hand on designing a reliable, distributed, multi-datacenter near-real-time log processing system.

The session will start with a short presentation on lessons learned about designing reliable distributed systems, and then participants will break out in small groups, assisted by Google facilitators, and try their hand at solving a real-world design challenge, from high-level architecture down to an estimate of the computing resources required to run the service.

The session will likely appeal to experienced engineers who want to have fun tackling a real-world design problem faced by many teams in Google.

Andrea Spadaccini works in Dublin as a Site Reliability Manager for Google, which he joined in 2012 as an SRE working on the systems that distill, store and serve all the metrics about Google's Ads platforms. Prior to that, he worked on Linux-based PBX products, hacked on open source CPU simulators and co-founded a non-profit for students to get work experience while pursuing their studies. He earned a PhD in Computer Engineering from the University of Catania, where he focused mostly on biometric recognition. spadaccio@google.com.
