Can y'all help with coming up with an ideal panel for a distributed systems NodeUp? Ideal would be 3 people, can stretch to 4. Would be good to have a diversity of views and/or approaches on distrubuted & p2p, particularly if we can get people working in different parts of this area.

I'd love to do this and can make it happen pretty soon.

Adding a few more ideas from working in Node:

• Load Balancers (server discovery)
• Auto-scaling: Amazon Web Services, Elastic Beanstalk, Elastic Load Balancer
• Pub/Sub, inter-node communication, distributed memory systems (Redis)
• Database access (document level locking in a distributed environment)
• sharing preferences and secrets
• Web Sockets (balancing, session affinity, headaches)
• Deployment of multiple apps, rolling deploys, rolling back
• Logging and realtime monitoring (Kibana, Logstash, munin, Google Analytics)
• What does your environment look like? (How many different app servers?)
• At what point do we become sys admins?
• Do you dare use the cluster module?
• pm2
• unique debugging problems (log access, performance, sshing into a dynamic sized set of servers)
• docker
• Amazon Lambda

Would love this

i suggest having two sessions, one distributed and one p2p. Although there is some overlap in concepts, they are very different in spirit.

@rvagg Sorry, I completely missed your message over 1.5 years ago :) I'm currently not working on any project related to p2p (although I would love to take it in that direction). I currently work on stuff related to a mixture of

• mqtt (for pulling in data and also internal pub/sub)
• websockets
• z-wave
• openwrt
• docker (deployment based on docker-remote-api + tls)
• docker container orchestration using docker swarm (the new 1.12+ built in swarm feature)
• traefik reverse proxy (running in docker)
• node (well duh)
• azure (virtual machines + azure load balancer)

Not sure if this is of any interest or relevance :)

@dominictarr Sounds great!

I enjoyed the show on Docker, maybe this time a show more about the core concepts of going distributed using node?

@ralphtheninja

Interesting mix!

Been also using docker + node but with nginx. Will have a look at traefik ;)
