HighLoad ++ professional conference

Probably many of you know about the difficult fate of the project "professional conference of web developers of high-load systems." Today there are two such conferences - the discussion below will focus on HighLoad ++ , a conference aimed at communication of equals, joint development and exchange of experience. Dates - October 6 and 7, place - Conference Center Infospace, Moscow.

I want to talk about our plans for the program and invite to participate. We plan to cover all high-load spectra: architecture design, technology selection, development, hosting, administration, support, monitoring.

Gavin Roy , CTO of a well-known US startup MyYearBook.com will tell about the architecture of their projects. Andrey Smirnov will reveal the secrets of video hosting smotri.com . Pavel Kudinov , one of the best dokadchik of our previous conferences, will tell about the various architectural techniques used in the development of online games. In the theses of this speech it is written: “we refuse SQL and memcached, apache, mod_perl and FastCGI”. What he proposes to create high-loaded projects is not yet clear ;-)

We will pay much attention to protection against DDOS attacks . In the system administration section, the most interesting CTO report of Z-Support by Dmitry Lokhany entitled “Testing cluster and distributed file systems (Arla, Coda, Luster, MogileFS, iSCSI-based solutions)” is also planned.

Alexey Rybak , one of the best specialists in the development of high-load sites on the Runet, is preparing a master class on “Designing high-traffic projects”. Sergey Martynov , CTO Notamedia, paying tribute to the fashion of social networks, plans to read the report “How to disperse a social network 10 times in 2 hours,” based solely on practical examples.

A series of reports from RBC / Media World , Runner , Rambler , SUP, and other leaders of the Russian Internet, are interspersed from the reports of our Western colleagues. We have invited an evangelist from Amazon and are going to ask him about the details of using cloud computing from Amazon in our projects.

Database reports reflect the principle of HighLoad ++ in the best possible way - from “how to do” to “how it works”. We will hear reports about the database device in Skype , about the bottlenecks of the server part of MySQL and MySQL Cluster architecture. Petr Zaitsev , one of the world's best experts in optimizing MySQL, will read the report on "MySQL Storage Engines: Innodb, Falcon, Maria, Special Engines." Nikolai Samokhvalov and Ivan Zolotukhin will respond with a master class on PostgreSQL.

In general, the list of applications for HighLoad ++ now includes more than 50 reports, of which we have to choose two dozen of the best. Details on the conference website .

I would also like to invite habragers to the last summer meeting of speakers and the Program Committee, which will be held on Thursday, August 28 , at 19:30 in the Extropolis Conference Center (Moscow, Trekhprudny Lane, 9), in the Vedomosti Hall. Free admission!
