Session
Operating systems at massive scale means designing for failure, traffic spikes, and constant change.
In this talk, I’ll share lessons from building and running distributed systems at companies like Canva and Slack, focusing on resilience, high availability, incident response, and SRE practices. Expect real-world examples of what breaks at scale—and how to design systems that survive it.
