From YouTube: Apache Cassandra at Pager Duty: Watching Your Cassandra Cluster Melt

Description

PagerDuty had the misfortune of watching its abused, underprovisioned Cassandra cluster collapse. This talk will cover the lessons learned from that experience like:
• Which of the many, many metrics did we learn to watch for

• What mistakes we made that lead to this catastrophe

• How we have changed our use to make our Cassandra cluster more stable

Owen Kim is a Software Engineer at PagerDuty and enjoys whiskey, riding his Honda Shadow 600 (named "Chie") and discussing the finer points in narrative and expression in video games.
