In this talk, Christos Kalantzis (Cloud Persistence Engineering Manager, Netflix), explains why he believes companies should adopt an Optimistic Software Design model that is similar to what is used at Netflix. This is a practical talk with strategies for implementing the design model, testing for eventual consistency, and convincing your organization that it's the right move.

This talk was given at Cassandra Day Silicon Valley 2014.

Evan Chan (Software Engineer, Ooyala), describes his experience using the Spark and Shark frameworks for running real-time queries on top of Cassandra data. He starts by surveying the Cassandra analytics landscape, including Hadoop and HIVE, and touches on the use of custom input formats to extract data from Cassandra. Then, he dives into Spark and Shark (two memory-based cluster computing frameworks) and explains how they enable often dramatic improvements in query speed and productivity.

In this session Les Hazlewood (Co-Founder and CTO of Stormpath), describes Shiro's enterprise session management capabilities and how to use Cassandra as Shiro's session store, enabling a distributed session cluster supporting hundreds of thousands or even millions of concurrent sessions. As a working example, Les will show how to set up a session cluster in under 10 minutes using Cassandra. Watch this if you need to scale user session load.

Read the full post here: http://www.hakkalabs.co/articles/kiji-cassandra

The Kiji Project is a modular, open-source framework that enables developers to efficiently build real-time Big Data applications. Kiji is built upon popular open-source technologies such as Cassandra, HBase, Hadoop, and Scalding, and contains components that implement functionality critical for Big Data applications.

In this talk, Clint Kelly (WibiData) discusses:
- The Kiji architecture and data model
- Implementing the Kiji data model in Cassandra using the Java driver and CQL3
- Integrating Cassandra with Hadoop 2.x
- Building a flexible middleware platform that supports Cassandra and HBase (including projects that use both simultaneously)
- Exposing unique features of Cassandra (e.g., variable consistency) to Kiji users

This talk was given at Cassandra Day Silicon Valley.

Hulu must scale web services to meet the demands of an ever growing number of users. During this talk, Matt Jurik discusses the initial use case for Cassandra at Hulu: the video progress tracking service known as HUGETOP. While Cassandra provides a fantastic platform on which to build scalable applications, there are some dark corners of which to be cautious. We will provide a walk-through of hugetop and some design decisions that went into the hugetop keyspace, our hardware choices, and our experiences operating Cassandra in a high-traffic environment.
