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.

Talking Distributed Systems at Hacker Nights
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.
rqlite at the CMU Database Group
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.
rqlite at Carnegie Mellon University
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.
Cloud Logging on the Google Cloud Platform Podcast
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.

Observing Observability at Devopsday
It was great to speak at devopsdays in Galway. I really enjoyed bringing my recent Monitorama 2019 talk to my home town.
A video of the talk has now been posted.
devopsdays Galway
I will be joining my colleague from Google, Nathen Harvey, to speak in Galway at devopsdays on November 18th and 19th.
I’m really looking forward to returning to my home town, and bringing my Monitorama Baltimore 2019 talk to the conference.
Observing Observability
Monitorama Baltimore 2019
was a great experience, and I really enjoyed the opportunity to speak. I spoke about why Observability and Monitoring sytems struggle to meet their goals, and why they are so hard to build.
The slides and video of the talk are now available.
Monitorama Baltimore 2019
I have been accepted to talk at Monitorama Baltimore this year. I’ll be speaking about my experience building Observability systems at many different companies, and how might those lessons be applicable to other teams and groups.
