Session: Beyond Limits: Scaling Distributed Systems for Tomorrow
As distributed systems become the backbone of modern technology, scaling them efficiently, securely, and sustainably has emerged as a critical challenge. This talk explores the evolution of scaling practices, from monolithic architectures to microservices and cloud-native designs, while addressing modern challenges such as data consistency, latency, fault tolerance, and resource optimization. Attendees will gain insights into emerging trends, including cell-based architectures, AI-driven orchestration and edge computing. By examining real-world examples and future directions, this session aims to equip participants with the tools and perspectives needed to build resilient, scalable systems that meet the demands of a rapidly evolving tech landscape. Join us to uncover the innovations shaping the future of distributed systems and how to navigate the path ahead.
