OSCON Data 2011 — NoSQL @ Netflix, Part 2 View more presentations from Sid Anand
During July 25-27, O’Reilly will be dedicating a special section of their OSCON open source conference to big data use-cases and technologies. Tracks cover a range of topics, from NoSQL to relational technologies. Additionally tracks dedicated to Hadoop and Visualization are also included. This section is aptly named OSCON Data.
I’ll be speaking during the Monday, 10:40 am slot about Netflix Data Architecture in the cloud. Specifically, I’ll cover how we moved from Oracle to a range of cloud based data storage, including SimpleDB, S3, & Cassandra. Our experience with Cassandra is still in the formative stage, so I will cover our learnings and future plans for the technology.

For some workloads, they achieve 2 orders of magnitude better latency results relative to a vanilla Cassandra distribution. This is achieved through a combination of SSDs and a new data structure (Stratified B-tree).

Netflix will be sponsoring DataStax SF 2011 on Monday, July 11. Though Netflix does not often sponsor events or recruit at conferences, we hope to engage with others active in the Cassandra and Distributed Systems community.
Stop by our booth to learn about what we are working on! Bring your resume as well!

Last week, I attended Intuit’s annual CTOF (Create The OFfering) conference in San Diego. The focus this year was on mobile best practices. I was happy to represent Netflix at this venue and learn from other companies with a foot in either mobile, the cloud, or both.
Netflix is an example of both with support on several mobile platforms (e.g. iOS, Android, Windows Mobile) and traffic served from Amazon’s Cloud.

Hi Folks!
As many of you know, Netflix has been expanding its video streaming offering throughout the US and the world. We have been successful thanks to our move to Amazon Web Services’ cloud and our adoption of NoSQL solutions.
