  • Forgot to talk about this, but here are my notes from the MesosCon presentation by Twitter

  • Former Nimbula founder (Oracle acquisition), early AWS founder.

  • Twitter's kinda big deal, maybe you've heard of them. Over 1000 services manage Twitter, over 1,000,000 cores.

  • Heron is a newly open-sourced replacement for Storm. Supporting all of our own code isn't sustainable, need an open source community.
  • \n
  • The Ellen Degeneres photo tweet from the 2015 Academy Awards knocked a couple of services over. 25% traffic spike, hit 255k/tweets per second. 2016 Academy Awards had 2x the traffic, no failures.
  • \n
  • 30,000 node Mesos cluster (probably largest). "We don't like being the biggest of anything, we find the edge cases." 130,000,000 containers launched daily.
  • \n
  • Some of their acquisitions were in public cloud, they don't move them in-house. They're actually pushing new services out to AWS where they can. Vine, TellApart, Crashlytics, MoPub, BlueFin, etc. Ad-serving is mostly in AWS.\nUsers: Time Warner, Twitter (30,000 host deployment), Apple Siri.

  • Also, some ALM stuff. Sadly, I don\u2019t have access to the IDC reports on this, however, they\u2019re expecting big things: \u201cIDC's analysis of this market resulted in worldwide agile application life-cycle management software 2014 revenue of $450.3 million, up 30.5% from the 2013 revenue of $345 million. IDC expects very strong growth for agile ALM software for the 2014\u20132019 time frame, with growth to $1.8 billion by 2019 and a high CAGR of 32%\u201d
