The sessions in the conference were great, but a couple stood out. The first was Netflix's presentation "Resilient by Design", where the speaker talked about how Netflix designs and deploys their services: from using microservices that do one thing and do it very well with well defined interfaces, to cloud servic
Musings about technology and life in general.
