From the Front Lines: Solving Real-World Tech Challenges – Lessons Learned from Real-World Giant
We often focus on functional differences between technologies, but it’s the non-functional characteristics that truly make or break real-world systems. In this talk, we’ll explore how attributes like performance, resilience, security, scalability, and cost-efficiency have shaped some of the world’s most demanding platforms.
Drawing on real engineering stories from Snapchat, and BitcoinSV’s Teranode project, we’ll go behind the scenes to see how these systems met extreme demands. You’ll learn how Snapchat managed cost and availability at massive scale, and how shortcomings in Bitcoin’s non-functional design nearly derailed what could have been the most transformative tech revolution of the 21st century.
