My GopherCon 2023 talk, Build Your Own Distributed System Using Go, has been published to YouTube.
It was a great conference, and I appreciated the opportunity to share some lessons on designing, developing, and operating modern distributed systems in general, and the Raft consensus protocol in particular.

Getting ready to speak at a technical conference can be as nerve-wracking as it is exciting, especially if it’s your first time.
Having had the opportunity to present at notable events like AWS re:Invent, Monitorama, DevOps Days, and GopherCon, I’ve learned a thing or two about preparing for the big stage.

I recently had the opportunity to discuss rqlite, open-source, and distributed systems with Eric Anderson of Scale. It was great to be part of Eric’s series of podcasts on open-source software, modern software development, and where the industry is going.

This September I’ll be speaking at GopherCon 2023. The conference takes place in San Diego, and I’ll be giving a talk on Building Distributed Systems in Go using the Raft consensus protocol. Much of my presentation will be based on my experience building rqlite.
I recently had the opportunity to talk distributed systems and rqlite at the Hacker Nights NYC Meetup. It was great chance to speak with some folks, and discuss rqlite, its design, and how it operates.
The presentation is available, as is a video recording of the talk.
I recently had a chance to speak about rqlite, the distributed, lightweight database built on SQLite, to the Carnegie Mellon Database Group.We discussed the goals of rqlite, its design and use of the Raft consensus protocol, as well as testing strategies and real world applications.
A video of talk has been posted, and presentation itself is also available.
Full details for my upcoming talk on rqlite to the Carnegie Mellon Database Group are now available.
I will discuss rqlite goals, design, and implementation, with particular reference to its use of the Raft consensus algorithm, and its embedding of SQLite. I will also discuss rqlite testing, performance, lessons learned during development, and some of its real-world applications.
I recently took part in the GCP Podcast, along with my colleague Reed Taylor. On the podcast we spoke about Cloud Logging, which is GCP‘s centralized Logging product, and has released lots of new features to help customers meet their Compliance and Regulatory needs.
