FailOver Conference April 4th - free online webcast

FailOver Conference will be held tomorrow, April 4! We ourselves are waiting for this event with great impatience, because the work on the program has already been completed and only the most “delicious” has got into it! :-)

The most "hot" special offer for those who can not attend in person - free online broadcast of the entire event !

It will be possible not only to see all the reports, but also to ask questions through Twitter with the hashtag #failoverconf.

This requires a little - register for online broadcast .

And under the cut, we will talk about the most interesting, in our opinion, reports!

The rare difference between our event and purely technological conferences - we will try to count on living examples how much the site owners cost them, estimate all the risks, denote not only obvious losses, but also those that you may never have thought about.

The constant controversy of recent years - which is more reliable, "cloud" or "iron"? We specifically called two bright representatives of the “iron” and “cloud” hosting providers (Yuri Ustinov from Rusoniks and Nikolay Dvas from Clodo.ru) to learn first-hand all the pros and cons of different approaches. And, perhaps, together find out that "the truth is somewhere near."

What serious site can do without a database now? And which database can be considered fault tolerant if it does not use replication? About new replication features in the new version of MySQL 5.6 will tell Konstantin Osipov - one of the well-known and recognized experts in the world of MySQL.

The way the site is “firmly on its feet” depends not only on the infrastructure on which it is hosted, but also on the huge mass of other things: a well-written code (about it in Ilya Pyatin’s report), proper operation (you have No matter whether “yes” or “no” - be sure to listen to the report by Alexander Serbul on the monitoring system - you will learn something new), clear principles for the development and updating of the project (Denis Mitrofanov will tell about Continuous Integration).

What to do if the site still not only something “fell”, but also “disappeared”? Data loss is a disaster! But life will become a little calmer after the presentation of Dmitry Sizikov about everything related to backups: mysqldump, Percona Xtrabackup, mysqlhotcopy, LVM, bacula, ZFS, and many, many other scary words. But the most important thing is when and why they should be applied. Perhaps one of the most detailed and interesting stories about backup systems.

The less load on the site - the easier it lives. We will learn not only how to reduce the workload in regular conditions (Vitaly Gavrilov report), but also how to repel attackers who decide to organize a DDoS attack on your project - how to deal with this scourge, Alexander Krizhanovsky will tell.

And - see you tomorrow!
