Would you like to hang out with some other developers, and practice working with some new tech?
Join us for these next few summer months, May through August. Bring your laptop and an idea. Want to get some feedback on your project? We’ll have time for demos. All skill levels are welcome.
NativeX (formerly W3i) recently transitioned a large portion of their backend infrastructure from MS SQL Server to Apache Cassandra. Today, its Cassandra cluster backs its mobile advertising network supporting over 10 million daily active users producing over 10,000 transactions per second with an average database request latency of under 2 milliseconds. Going from relational to noSQL required NativeX’s engineers to re-train, re-tool and re-think the way it architects applications and infrastructure. Learn why Cassandra was selected as a replacement, what challenges were encountered along the way, and what architecture and infrastructure were involved in the implementation.
Jeff is CTO at NativeX (formerly W3i) with more than 10 years of experience in engineering and leadership.
