If you work on distributed systems, you try to design your system to keep running if any single machine fails. If you’re ambitious, you might extend this to entire racks, or even more inconvenient sets of machines. However, what if your entire datacenter falls off the face of the earth? This talk will examine how current large scale storage systems handle fault tolerance and consistency, with a particular focus on the App Engine datastore. We’ll cover techniques such as replication, sharding, two phase commit, and consensus protocols (e.g. Paxos), then explore how they can be applied across datacenters.

For many, general purpose search engines are the starting point to locate the online content or application of their interest. As web applications become more interactive and rich in the experience they offer, it is becoming crucial for their developers to make the content discoverable to crawlers that are designed to follow links on pages. If you are a developer that builds web applications, the infrastructure that lies beneath those applications, or the tools that help search engine optimization, native support for Sitemaps protocol is something you should consider. Come and learn more about how Sitemaps can help make the content locked in your applications become more discoverable and useful to search engines.
