Hi all, Those of you that would be by chance present at Linux Kongress 2010 in Nurnberg, make sure to see my talk on Sept 23rd, 17:15PM. Here's the abstract:
"Scalability Layer Hits the Internet Stack" This article argues that aside of TCP/IP (interlinked network hosts) and world-wide web (interlinked documents) we need a simple general-purpose decentralised infrastructure to interlink services. We will argue that the technical difficulty of connecting service providers and service consumers in a distributed fashion can be solved, and we will explain how we propose to solve it. We will present ØMQ, which is a simple messaging library focused on this goal. Using ØMQ, we will demonstrate how large-scale distributed services can be built with basically zero friction. We will introduce new reusable patterns for service interconnect that are intended to become the building blocks for a new "scalability layer" in the Internet stack. Finally, we will discuss the feasibility of a kernel-space implementation of the "scalability layer".
