I have spoken at and reported on hundreds of events around the world.

Coding Serbia

Wednesday, 7 October 2015

The single node backend is dying or dead. A single instance of a database is no longer sufficiently available, resilient or elastic to cope with the quantities and changing requirements of data that modern applications demand. A single point of failure is no longer an option.

Dublin NoSQL with Crate.io

Monday, 5 October 2015

Using Crate a distributed database (Crate has a NoSQL base but is queried in SQL) as an explicit example Chris will show the theory and practice behind their component architecture, along with some basic but extremely cool queries to show what's possible with it. He will demonstrate the basic practicals of querying and coding for Crate using the gitHub archive.

Voxxed Days Belgrade

Thursday, 1 October 2015

In this presentation we will look the fact that in large scale and complex web applications the single node backend is now dead or dying.

Apache Big Data Europe

Monday, 28 September 2015

Apache Mesos is a fantastic tool for abstracting CPU, memory, storage, and other compute resources away from machines (physical or virtual). Alongside these features is Mesos-DNS, which provides service discovery for all applications and services running in a Mesos cluster. These features combined lets you program against your datacenter like it's a single pool of resources, a useful tool when building highly scalable applications stacks.

Write the docs, Prague

Monday, 31 August 2015

Whilst not a part of the core documentation of projects, presentations and delivering them to the public are an essential part of spreading the word about what you do. In this presentation I will explore and explain my experiences as an advocate for several open source projects, audience reactions to those presentations and how I have iterated my presentations in sync with changes to product and branding.

In this talk we'll focus on the use of Crate alongside Weave in Docker containers, the technical challenges, best practices learned, and getting a simple web application running alongside it. You'll learn about the reasons why Crate.IO is building "yet another NoSQL database" and why it's unique and important when running containerized applications.
