REST Fest East 2019
Chaos Is Order (Or How To Make Systems You Trust)
Keynote: Friday, September 27th
This talk will cover the basics of The Principles of Chaos and things to consider when applying them to a distributed system. We’ll also talk about the role APIs play in those systems and how to consider things like blast radius when building resilient APIs. We’ll do all that by drawing comparisons to the all-too-frequent power outages my house suffers from and the games my generator plays… because it’s all about me.
