How to Develop and Operate Cloud-Native Data Platforms and Applications

feat. Electronic Arts (EA) use cases

ALLUXIO ONLINE MEETUP

In cloud-based software stacks, there are varying degrees of automation across different layers: infrastructure, platform, and application. The mismatch in automation often breaks balance in devops, causing ops nightmares in platforms and applications. This talk will overview two projects at Electronic Arts (EA) that address the mismatch by data orchestration: One project automatically generates configurations for all components in a large monitoring system, which reduces the daily average number of alerts from ~1000 to ~20. The other project introduces Alluxio for caching and unifying address space across ETL and analytics workloads, which substantially simplifies architecture, improves performance, and reduces ops overheads.

In this online meetup, you will learn about:

  • Lessons learned in building and rebuilding EA’s monitoring systems
  • Redesigning data platform by replacing HDFS with Alluxio for data orchestration and help with scaling
