Track Overview
Living on the Edge
Global Internet connectivity provides a unique opportunity to scale products and services. In many areas performance, reliability, and efficiency of network requests directly impact business metrics, requiring to scale architectures beyond the central data center to the Edge of the infrastructure.
This track shares the latest techniques to scale software architectures to the Edge networks with thousands of points of presence and ways to minimize the last-mile data delivery.
