About the Talk
Are you curious about what happens when you decide to create a Droplet? From our external interfaces, through our product stack, into the datacenter, and eventually down to the bare metal, you’ll learn exactly what happens to take that API request to a Droplet you can reach via SSH. If you have an interest in microservices, networking, systems, and navigating a rapidly growing technological stack, you’ll get insight of what it’s like to operate infrastructure at scale.
What You’ll Learn
- How DigitalOcean efficiently and reliably places workloads to address scaling, resilience, reliability, and efficiency concerns.
