Scale By the Bay 2019

Over the last few years I have built a DNS management system. Initially started as an Event Sourcing application built in Akka, the system had to be re-architected multiple times to address unforeseen issues stemming from new requirements, operational issues, and developer pitfalls (mistakes). This talk will introduce concepts in the DNS domain and different architecture styles including Event Sourcing in Akka and Stream processing in FS2. The talk will describe the journey from inception through to the current system design, highlighting the key challenges encountered along the way and the evolution of the design to account for those challenges. I plan on using real code to demonstrate each architecture along the journey.
